What is the plan for TRIM support in XFS? I don't see any mention in the 2.6.36.2 sources, so I guess the code you guys have been discussing must not be considered stable yet.<br><br>How will it eventually work? Will the filesystem automatically issue the commands to the drive whenever a file is deleted, or will it always require some sort of prodding from a userspace program?<br>
<br>And what kind of experiences are people having with XFS on current SSDs? I just put an Intel drive in my newly upgraded box and I'm wondering if this blazing performance will screech to a halt when my cumulative writes exceed its 120 GB capacity. Does anyone have a standalone "drive optimizer" that understands XFS, i.e, that can examine an unmounted file system and issue the appropriate TRIM commands for every block on the free list?<br>
<br>Or is the Intel drive somehow really good at avoiding write amplification even without TRIM help from the file system? I've heard that may be the case, but I don't understand how that can be.<br><br>Phil<br><br>
