A little-hyped development in all the hype about “trim” for ssds:
- Recent versions of mkfs.ext2, mkfs.ext3, mkfs.ext4, and mkfs.xfs all now trim all blocks in the target device before laying down the format, so regardless of whether you have a runtime trim solution, at least you get to start fresh!
Eric,
This makes a lot of sense, which versions of mkfs? The reason I ask is because I’m installing Fedora 13.
Hi James –
xfsprogs-3.1.0 and e2fsprogs-1.41.10, not certain about btrfs-progs.
I -think- both of them should be in F13 but I’m too lazy to check ;)
