SSD optimizations
From Wildsong
See http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/09/04/four-tweaks-for-using-linux-with-solid-state-drives/
/boot, /home, /swap on raptor /dev/sda / on RevoDrive /dev/md0 (/dev/sdc, /dev/sdd)
1 put noatime option in /etc/fstab
2 disable the elevator scheduler, put these in /etc/rc.local
echo noop > /sys/block/sdc/queue/scheduler echo noop > /sys/block/sdd/queue/scheduler
3 manage write caching via /etc/hdparm.conf
# Raptor drive /dev/sda { write_cache = on } # Caviar drive /dev/sdb { write_cache = on } # SSD RevoDrive /dev/sdc { write_cache = off } /dev/sdd { write_cache = off }
