Post by: penguin on November 03, 2017, 11:40:14 AM
Hi all.

I have a question.

It is fstrim installed/enabled by default in Sparky Linux ?
If not..
Which is the best way to install and activate fstrim to work automatically on weekly bases?

I've just been looking at this, as a newbie. I have minimal resources, so I'm happy to run fstrim from command line once a week or so.

fstrim -a -v

The -v option just gives feedback of fstrim running and the results at the end.
