Hello Chris,
Chris Murphy [2019-12-17 22:23 -0700]:
This desktop@ thread [1] about a slow device restored by enabling
fstrim.service, got me thinking about enabling fstrim.timer [2] by
default in Fedora Workstation. But I'm curious if it might be
desirable in other Fedora Editions, and making it a system-wide
change?
This is a function/property of hardware, so it's IMO not desktop specific at
all. Servers suffer just as well from hard disks becoming slower.
I've checked recent versions of openSUSE and Ubuntu, and they
have it
enabled.
Incidentally I worked on that on the Ubuntu side 6 years ago:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/core-1311-ssd-trimming This still
has the "discard vs. cron job" pros and cons and benchmarks, so might still be
useful.
Thanks!
Martin
