Hi,
My next question relating to using SSDs on openSUSE is whether they enable or implement the so-called Idle Time Garbage Collection used by SandForce SSD chips (such as the SandForce 1222 chips on the RevoDrive x2 card I bought).
afaics, "Idle Time Garbage Collection" is implemented in the controller.
Nothing I've found has made it clear whether this is something that requires OS / filesystem support, but the descriptions I've found (which have been very sketchy) suggest filesystem support is required.
TRIM needs support in the filesystem, ext4 has a support for it, using the "discard" mount option, which is apparently on its infancy. Cheers. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
