EXT4 is not a solid state file system. It won't take full advantage of the hardware and it will ware out the drive. So what is the best Solid State File System for Linux? I am looking forward to ButterFS (btrfs), but its not suitable for production systems. I'm also interested to know why you like a particular ssdfs.

Half of my ZFS filesystems are hidden in ZFS-fuse. Here's my story: So, I love ZFS.
