Hi
I have been using ext4(pre-formatting, no LVM) on my SSDs,
(partitioned using gdisk with some of them,
to ensure the correct alignment)
[root at avon ~]# uname -a
Linux avon 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP
[root at avon ~]# gdisk /dev/sda
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.6.14
Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
Command (? for help): p
Disk /dev/sda: 117231408 sectors, 55.9 GiB
Logical sector size: 512 bytes
Disk identifier (GUID): 94F57B19-B255-4B3A-A9A0-8983A3A61F04
Partition table holds up to 128 entries
First usable sector is 34, last usable sector is 117231374
Partitions will be aligned on 2048-sector boundaries
Total free space is 33343213 sectors (15.9 GiB)
Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name
1 2048 4095 1024.0 KiB EF02 BIOS boot partition3333
2 4096 41947135 20.0 GiB EF00 Linux/Windows data33333
3 41947136 83890175 20.0 GiB 0700 Linux/Windows data
Didn't bother with /boot or swap (8GB of memory installed on this machine)
Not sure which of the Codes is best/correct EF00 or 0700
The second partition is ready for F15
No known problems
Interested in other replies re btrfs
Does older grub version permit booting from btrfs?
