I'm going to setup just one partition for anything (except swap), since i could
not find any arguments why to split /home or anything else, applying to me. I
don't keep massive data on a travel laptop anyway, and If i'd need a reinstall
i can backup /home easily to some external drive, with the
Hello all,
I booted the laptop into a grml boot-cd, then checked things with hpdarm -I. It
appeared this old SSD does not do TRIM.
Given that it's just an old disk with possibly low firmware performance, and a
small and cheap one anyway, and without TRIM, i decided to just go with the

I think i meant GPT here.
And from what i've read, following the link Bob Prolux posted, i conclude it
doesn't really matter, as GPT is just a newer and more flexible system to cover
disk sizes >2T, but for laptops the old MRB system should be good enough (as
long as grub supports it).

Bjørn,

Ah, but since fstrim works only on a mounted filesystem, there is already a
difference to a reset by SSD BIOS. A filesystem allocates lots of blocks, for
tables and journal and the redundancy backups. (I wonder if that's even anymore
useful with a SSD, and if there are specific SSD mkfs

The original X301 64GB and 128GB Samsung SSDs are definitely in the
"very old models" category. They were manufactured in 2008, well before
TRIM became a standard feature on SSDs.
