Modern SSD's need to be informed if a block is not used by the OS anymore and can be discarded for reuse and performance as well as lifetime optimization.
This can either be done automatically on every unlink() call
by using the -o discard mount option,
or periodically through a service calling fstrim.
Since the former often incurs a performance penalty, a service is used most of the time. The following will explain how to set up such a service.
Create the following longrun
source directory
in the src/maintenance/trim-srv
subdirectory of the
system supervision tree.
shibari-udp-ipv4-srv ├── dependencies.d │ └── mount # empty/arbitrary ├── producer-for # trim-log ├── run # see below └── type # longrun
with the following run script:
#!/bin/execlineb -P fdmove -c 2 1 snooze -H 20 -M 30 fstrim -a
This example runs fstrim on all drives every day at by utilizing snooze. which can of course be freely changed. See the documentation of snooze.
