SSDs have controllers that contain heavy closed magic to circumvent all kinds of troubles you get when using classical flash and SD cards. Honestly I would just drop the idea of an SSD option simply because the vendors implement all kinds of neat strategies in their devices. So in the end you cannot really tell if the option does something constructive and not destructive in combination with a SSD controller. Of course you may well discuss about an option for passive flash devices like ide-CF/SD or the like. There is no controller involved so your fs implementation may well work out. -- Regards, Stephan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
