ssd performance tweaks[edit]

references: howto geek

  1. add discard, noatime options in /etc/fstab
  2. /tmp in RAM - not implemented - shouldn't be that useful ?
  3. changed default I/O algorithm to deadline from cfg
     echo deadline > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
     echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/queue/iosched/fifo_batch
