Hi all,

I just read a article explaning that u need to tweak a few settings in
Ubuntu when using SSD's.
I kinda missed the point of this so i would like to ask you guys if this is
really a must, and if so, why ?

Changes described in the article:

===============================================
File: /etc/fstab
=== Changed in file
relatime => noatime.
=== Added to the file
tmpfs      /var/log        tmpfs        defaults           0    0
===============================================
File: /etc/sysctl.conf
=== Added to the file
vm.swappiness=0
vm.vfs_cache_pressure=50
===============================================
File: /etc/rc.local
=== Added to the file
for dir in apparmor apt cups dist-upgrade fsck gdm installer samba
unattended-upgrades ;
do
           if [ ! -e /var/log/$dir ] ; then
                   mkdir /var/log/$dir
           fi
done
===============================================
