That option is "discard" for btrfs too, the "ssd" option (which is automatically set if the kernel detects the disk as being non-rotational) determines allocation and commit log strategies. The "discard" option is not set by default as it can result in poor performance on some SSDs. > * set 'relatime' mount flag as well; it helps performance on > everything, and in ssd cases, avoids a bunch of unnecessary writes. That's the default on any vaguely modern kernel (set as default in 2.6.30 in 2009). :-) cheers, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
