Dear Support and colleagues, At OVH VPS servers, probably at other hosting companies the default fstab looks like this: UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx / ext4 errors=remount-ro,discard 0 1 In the Perfect server tutorials, its explained that we should add ",usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0" to the partition with mount point / , but should we add it before or after the "discard"? 1. UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx / ext4 errors=remount-ro,usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0,discard 0 1 or 2. UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx / ext4 errors=remount-ro,discard,usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 0 1 Or should we delete the discard and then paste the line after remount-ro 3. UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx / ext4 errors=remount-ro,usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 0 1 Thanks ina dvance for the help, support and communication Regards
discard in a virtual server? interesting ... got a dedicated ssd? if not, u shouldn't need discard at all. it is to notify block devices to trim themselves ... nothing $amount_virtual_servers on a metal should do together I guess. however, since these are options for how to mount ... the order is not important, just add where u like it best. if you have a high frequency of file access you can however turn on noatime to disable access timestamps if u or your software don't need them. https://www.howtoforge.com/reducing-disk-io-by-mounting-partitions-with-noatime good luck with quotas, not every vps do support them or have this feature activated.
