How do I optimize the OS for SSDs?
I need to tweak my Dell XPS 13z SSD for maximum performance and life cycle than I read the solutions explained here, but it is for 11.10 and my fstab is different.
For now my fstab is looks like this:
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=abf5ce9e-bdb7-4b2f-a7bd-bbd9efa72a98 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /home was on /dev/sda2 during installation
UUID=491427b2-7482-4483-b6eb-7c564b991aff /home ext4 defaults 0 2
# swap was on /dev/sda3 during installation
#UUID=7551000d-e708-4e0f-9fd2-9f93119f63fb none swap sw 0 0
/dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs mode=1777
And my rc.local is looks like this:
echo noop > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
echo deadline > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/queue/iosched/fifo_batch
exit 0
Do you have any suggestions, what should I do?
Regards
