You could use ext4 (because it has "extents"), made this way:
mke2fs -t ext4 -O ^has_journal /dev/device

Yes, I have tried that on some machines when migrating an installation from HD to SSD.
Without extents requires more accesses to read/write large files to the disk.
A fair point, but I suspect that I personally seldom use large files. I often use tmpfs for /tmp meaning that I can't have temporary files bigger than RAM, and the single time I hit a problem was burning a DVD on a machine with only 4GB RAM.
Also, you could use "lazytime" instead of "noatime".
That's a new one on me. Thanks for that. I don't use maildir and that's the only thing I know that needs atimes, so none at all seems simpler. -- Liam Proven - Technical Writer, SUSE Linux s.r.o.
