Apart from correctly aligning the partitions, I think there are no
more optimizations done by Fedora.
I use a SSD and to get the best performance I use ext4 directly on the
partitions, without LVM, Luks, RAID, etc. Also, here are a few tips:
- Mount options:
noatime to reduce writes.
discard if your unit supports TRIM
- Change the default scheduler:
I created /etc/rc.d/rc.local with:
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo noop > /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
- Disable the readahead service:
systemctl disable systemd-readahead-collect.service
systemctl disable systemd-readahead-replay.service
