Hi all

just wanna share a link I've stumbled across today.

https://lwn.net/Articles/557220/

quoting the relevant part of the announcement:

"This is the culmination of several months of effort, to determine the results
of using different tuning options in the Linux kernel, with different filesystems
running on flash-based block devices."

not specifically tailored to db use, but after a quick glance I can say
it seems to contain a lot of useful info.


Andrea
