Hello all, im going to be getting a SSD soon and want to know which file system should i use for my linux installation? Is there any specific file system that is optomized for SSD's? Are journaled file systems ok for SSD's?
 
ext4 with journaling disabled or ext2. Also put non-essential/high write directories (tmp, log, etc) on tmpfs.
 
ext3 or ext4. Getting crazy with it is silly. Most decent SSDs have protection to keep you from overwriting a single block too much and have spare blocks to remap when one does die. Turning off journalling is just stupid, and getting fancy just leads to errors.

The only special thing I do on mine is turn off atime updates.
