The more I think about this the more I think we shouldn't be doing an automatic fstrim at all. The process involves filling the whole drive with a dummy file to claim all of the free space so it can be trimmed, and that really is something you should only be doing manually when you know the machine is idle. If this goes off on a busy server you can end up doing nasty things like dropping logs and or worse due to the temporary lack of free disk space. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJUaiXKAAoJEI5FoCIzSKrw6/kH/0UrmNpdwCNZF2oCLPSuhsQd qA3rjER0Pi5zCOLtPRDySou4n8otBmZ5ZbSXHzNsaC/58mUdAG+C/T0k0XIS9qiV TKQnPyDqrqqPwIwzq4gSt6fX5yW5SnmHgPwsXOE0mD3gIsG+BFmyJXmggVY5nGNY rswaUOQMUWDLGH8aVPr7jEnIU/K1KLdSXn9VX99pkwW5oO/xpo1lwiX9iTURsW+6 Om3g9V6+UFWcvUvglaTt/oqg3zZQLmpnvxDtTQsyCa/ykyj+hO261wwPCBS6um5F E2a6xhX0wrUHkGmFss/r/3JTvXEee/2Mw3Y6n63W2ENRiXPWpgyjiobG52ra8jo= =Yl1h -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
