Theodore T'so is playing with Intel SSDs if I recall correctly, which |
| 24 |
are in a totally different class to what you get in EEEs, like they cost |
| 25 |
about the same as the EEE does. His recommendations are based on a SSD |
| 26 |
with good built in wear leveling, and fast read/write performance. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
ext2 is normally recommended for "cheap" SSDs such as are in the EEE |
| 29 |
because it is a non-journalled FS, which is kind of important when your |
| 30 |
disk has severely limited write life. |

At least, that is my understanding of the situation |
