Subject: Using BTRFS on SSD now ?
Date: Thu, 05 Jun 2014 15:30:26 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2215647.hErg5R77lo@zafu> (raw)

Hi,

I just received a new laptop with a Micron 256GB SSD, and I plan to install 
Fedora 20 onto it.

I'm considering either BTRFS or ext4 (over LUKS-encrypted LVM) for this 
machine, but I'm afraid BTRFS might generate too much writes and shorten the 
SSD lifespan... Or am I mistaken ?

Is there any pro/cons currently, on a 3.14 kernel, about using BTRFS along 
with an SSD ?

Is there specific advice about leaf size, use of compression, snapshots, 
(auto-)defrag etc, that might be relevant especially for SSDs ?

TIA.
