As long as your /tmp does not normally exceed your RAM size it might be a good idea. Still, it is not really SSD specific: It will of course save a few writes, but as long as /tmp is always smaller than your RAM, there are obviously not that many writes anyway. > Lastly, the partition alignment discussion on > http://tytso.livejournal.com/2009/02/20/ is from 2009 - is it relevant > today? Using today's Debian you do not normally need to bother with alignment as all partitions will be automatically aligned at 1 MiB boundaries by most of the tools anyway. > Are any of the above "modifications" really necessary? None of the modifications is "necessary". You can simply replace a HDD with a SSD without having to worry much. Still, a ramdisk for /tmp could be useful (also in HDD environments). HTH Linux-Fan
