[gentoo-user] how to use my SSD the right way ;-)

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

I am running both my desktop and laptop on SSDs for years now.

I think I got the basic things right:

proper alignment of partitions, scheduler, TRIM (fstrim) ... you know.

Today I received my new and shiny Samsung 840 EVO and migrated my
desktop to it (writing this very email running Gentoo on it).

I use ext4 for / and /home ... with "noatime", yes.

I wonder if I should test another filesystem for /home or even / ...
maybe XFS? The system is snappy and works fine, I just wonder if another
fs would perform better with SSDs ?

Any opinions?
