Hi! All:

For my Homebuilt NAS [specs below], I've decided on a very small 32GB
SanDisk flash drive for the system drive to keep the 6 available SATA
II connectors free for storage drives. But I'm concerned about writes
wearing out the flash drive too soon. I don't know if it has wear
leveling built in.  Nothing in the specs about it. So, worse case, I'll
assume it doesn't.

For that reason, I thought EXT4 without journaling would work well.  No
journaling -- issues that causes aside -- would reduce writes a lot.
Then I came across F2FS which I hadn't heard of.  After some reading,
it seems the perfect filesystem for my purposes: It's more "modern" and
faster than EXT4, designed specifically for solid state devices, and
available in the Debian Repo. (I plan to use OpenMediaVault NAS
software which is Debian based.)

Opinions?  Suggestions?  Recommendations?

Thanks
