Thread: Ssd

hi,
i'm getting new laptop ssd, did research on how best set up. magicfabs ssd checlist: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/magicfab/ssdchecklist recommends turning off timestamps minimize data written disk (and maximize life of ssd). have 2 issues that: 1. far know, make (and maybe other programs?) use timestamps operate. know how make behave when timestamps disabled completely? 2. data written because of timestamps relevant when ssds nowadays have life expectancy of ~60tb? (e.g. 60tb can written disk before disk fails). also, checklist explicitely says create 1 partition, , no swap. no swap part clear, why influence performance if made 2 partitions, provided second partition 4k-aligned? (i'd rather have seperate /home partition)

i compile own kernel along ff etc. no problems @ turning off timestamps. less have write drive better off are. of statements in post don't hold true , bit outdated. long have large enough drive , know how align multiple partitions can create many want. poor people (including me) use small (60 gb) drive boot , don't need second partition . lose space every partition create in order keep alignment.anything write lot goes on second drive. putting log files in memory ( if have enough memory) not prolongs ssd life speeds things bit. http://wiki.geteasypeasy.com/how_to:...ur_flash_drive
want leave journaling enabled if using drive boot. after many hours of reading , experimenting here mount options work me on ext4 file system.

noatime,discard,barrier=0,data=ordered
