Great Info Corona, thanks for the reply..!
Ok cool, you definitely told me quite a few things I wasn't aware of for SSDs before... When you said the ext4 doesn't need to be unmounted in order to defrag it. Do you mean you can Defrag it from within the Windows VM while its booted up? Or is that from within my Linux Host OS, *i.e. my laptop's Linux OS? Sorry, I don't think I've ever tried to defragment a Disk before from within Linux, done it on Windows many many times, just never with Linux.
Thanks again for the reply, much appreciated!
Thanks Again,
Matt

Now that SSD drives are becoming mainstream, I had a few questions on installing a SSD drive in a FreeBSD environment. Can FreeBSD be made SSD aware, that is, somehow let FreeBSD know that reads and writes should be limited or deferred to extend the disk's life? Is there a setting for wear... (0 Replies)

I have seen research articles and forum postings that demonstrate that SSDs are poor at reading large files: the larger the file, the slower the SSD compared to traditional hard disk drives. The difference with hard disk drives becomes apparent at medium size files, say 20KB. Does this mean that... (2 Replies)

Still, is there a way... (4 Replies)

Nowadays the fastest SSDs achieve read-speeds of between 1500 MB/s to 1900 MB/s. Let's say that two such SSDs in RAID 0 achieve roughly double the throughput, ie 3000 MB/s. That is only half an order of magnitude removed from RAM ((10)^(1/2) * 3000 = 10.000), very broadly speaking.
So for the... (6 Replies)

mount_chfs
MOUNT_CHFS(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MOUNT_CHFS(8)
NAME
mount_chfs -- mount a CHFS flash file system
SYNOPSIS
mount_chfs
DESCRIPTION
Mounts a flash file system from a flash(4) device. CHFS file systems can be only mounted from flash devices. For regular block devices like
SSD drives or USB drives, please use a regular file system. The file system will be created during the first mount. CHFS stands for Chip
File System.
EXAMPLES
mount_chfs /dev/flash0 /mnt
SEE ALSO
flash(4), fstab(5), mount(8), flash(9)
HISTORY
CHFS was originally called ChewieFS during development. The name was changed to avoid legal issues and to have a more neutral name.
AUTHORS
CHFS was developed at the Department of Software Engineering, University of Szeged, Hungary.
BUGS
CHFS has a few known bugs as of 2011. Writing the FS full can cause problems. Truncating a file and growing it again can cause the new
bytes not having all zeroes, but filled with the old content instead.
