Periodic fstrim for SSD disks
|
||
|
|
-----------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
fstrim(8) is used on a mounted filesystem to discard blocks which are not in
|
||
|
|
use by the filesystem. This is useful in particular for solid-state drives
|
||
|
|
(SSDs).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A systemd service and matching timer is available to periodically perform
|
||
|
|
fstrim on relevant filesystems, but is *not* enabled by default. To enable it
|
||
|
|
according to the default weekly cadence, just do the following as root:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
systemctl enable fstrim.timer
|
