This whole SSD business seems to be full with superstition and "old
knowledge", or at the least different opinions:
http://robert.penz.name/137/no-swap-partition-journaling-filesystem-on-a-ss=
d/
The real truth probably lies in between somewhere.

However, the first three tweak suggestions of the zdnet link sounds
reasonable to me, even though the first tweak does not seem to apply for
the x301.


After reading many opinions, I have decided to use Ext3 with:
"Tweak #2: Use the =E2=80=9Cnoop=E2=80=9D I/O scheduler."
"Tweak #3: Change the file system mount options on SSDs to =E2=80=9Cnoatime=
=E2=80=9D."


Thanks for the pointers!
