Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat - razvojne verzije

In Btrfs there the solid-state drive mode can be enabled by using the -o ssd mount option or adding ssd to the /etc/fstab. Enabling this option will tune the Btrfs allocator for SSD usage, which is then designed to improve performance with this file-system still undergoing development. However, unless disabling the write cache for the drive, the SSD mode does not necessarily mean better performance. In fact, as our results are about to show, the quantitative disk performance can drop greatly in the SSD mode when the write cache remains enabled. However, not all write caches can be easily disabled right now under Linux. With the OCZ Vertex SATA 2.0 SSD, which we used for this testing today, had its write caching always enabled. When attempting to disable the write cache through hdparm it would remain enabled regardless and when using sdparm it would report change_mode_page: failed setting page: Caching (SBC).
