Subject:   solid state disk: file system optimization
Message-ID:  <15081.41279.355369.173695@onceler.kciLink.com>

I've got a solid state disk that appears to the system as a simple
SCSI disk device.  I'm using it for a mail spool under Postfix.

I was wondering if anyone has experience with these on FreeBSD.  In
particular, is there any tuning I can do with FreeBSD to optimize the
system even further.

Is there a way (and should I even bother) to tell FreeBSD that it
doesn't need to cache access to this disk since the disk is already
"fast enough"?

What would be good newfs parameters for such a beast?  There are
obviously no rotational delays, and the seek time is effectively zero
to access any sector on the "disk".
