Hi all just wanna share a link I've stumbled across today. https://lwn.net/Articles/557220/ quoting the relevant part of the announcement: "This is the culmination of several months of effort, to determine the results of using different tuning options in the Linux kernel, with different filesystems running on flash-based block devices." not specifically tailored to db use, but after a quick glance I can say it seems to contain a lot of useful info.
