If you want to use the full potential of SSDs as primary (and possibly only) storage on SLE or openSUSE systems, you are supposed to perform several configuration settings to make it fly, including:
- changing the io scheduler of the device to noop or deadline
- using tmpfs ("ramdisk") for /tmp
- using noatime for file systems
- calling fstrim occassionaly
- ...
The aim of the project would be to package this as a systemd service with some configuration options (e.g. in case you do NOT want to use tmpfs).

Just thinking aloud. What about a YaST module? We have [commercial] revamped development documentation http://yast.github.io/contribute.html [/commercial] and with my understanding of the description a YaST module fits better than a systemd service.

Yeah, a YAST module would be a development goal. But probably not this Hackweek as I want to focus on the basics and try out the different settings on run time environments. However, if somebody wants to join the project we could simulatenously create a yast2 package for it.
