For my upcoming storage system, the OS install is going to be on a 80gb Intel SSD disk and for various reasons, I am now pretty convinced to stick with UFS2 for the root partition (the actual data pool will be ZFS using traditional SATA disks). I am probably going to use GPT partitioning and have the SSD host the swap, boot, root and a few other partitions. What do I need to know in regards to partition alignment and filesystem block sizes to get the best performance out of the Intel SSDs? Thanks. - Sincerely, Dan Naumov
