All my research recommended NOT using a journaling filesystem like ext3 on SSDs. It
wears them out faster. Although, I did read one article where the writer actually
crunched numbers, and concluded that SSDs made within the past couple of years have a mean
"write" life equal to a typical hard drive. However, I decided to play it safe,
and went with ext2.
I have too many personal failures with ext2 to go with it any more. Now
granted most of them were with DSL on a wonderful Toshiba Libretto 110CT
(64Mb memory max) with a 4Gb drive, but it got tiresome dealing with a
broken drive and needing to reinstall yet again.
A big thing is the noatime option. Turn this puppy OFF.
