as far as I know, the partitions will be correct created by debian. Trimmings
is not a problem of the filesystem, but of partitioning. So, you can either
partitition with debian (whhezy or higher), or you can also use a live-file cd
like "gparted-live". It is the kernel, who is responsible for that. 3.2 and
higher will always work.
I'm not sure I follow. I've always thought that it is the file system that is responsible for sending the trim command to the SSD. Are you saying that it depends on the partitioning? I'm not using any intermediate layer like LVM or RAID, which I guess would otherwise have to pass the commands down the chain.
I partitioned with partman from the Debian installer, using gpt and the default all in one file system option. Should I do something else there?
