Hi group,
More and more I'm coming across references to "cheap" ssds in the EEEs.
http://www.hohndel.org/communitymatters/eeepc/best-filesystem-choice-for-the-eeepc/
recommends ext2. Which I found surprising, but the guy seems knowlegeable.
Here is Theodore T'so:
# mke2fs -t ext4 -E stripe-width=32,resize=500G /dev/ssd/root
In his discussion of formatting the pricy Intel product. He doesn't
say if this would be worthwhile for the "cheap" type.
hohndel doesn't specify any options, just says, use ext2. What does
the group recommend?

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