SSD and Linux

Post by perato » Sat Apr 09, 2011 1:02 pm

Does anyone run Linux on an SSD? I use archlinux and followed the Arch Wiki on SSD to set up the heads, sectors, change the scheduler, enable trim with the discard option using ext4 filesystem.

I use an HDD for /var. Does anyone use an SSD for /var? If so, how has it worked out? Currently I have / and /home on the SSD and /var on a reiserfs partition on an HDD along with a partition for Mythtv recordings on the HDD.
Desktop PC: AMD Athlon64 3000+, 1 GiB RAM, Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS video card; Archlinux
MythTV PC: Intel Celeron E3300, 4 GiB RAM, ATI X550 video card, Hauppauge HVR-2250; Archlinux+MythTV v0.25

I've run both arch and crunchbang on an eeec 701 netbook. No problems with the small ssd. No swap file used, of course. I put home on a removable sd card.
