To my understanding, it makes no sense to perform a TRIM on storage which is a LUKS2 encyrypted LVM. The storage device should anyway think that each bit is in use after it was filled with random data when creating the space. Not only that I cannot imagine how the storage device should Know what is happening in the encrypted space, wouldn't it be a security issue if the OS would inform the storage device about unused space and its location and could actually perform some kind of a TRIM?

Am I wrong?

If I am right, then, and assuming that TRIM is done by a command called fstrim, is there a simple command by which I could search through all cron entries if fstrim would somewhere be defined to become executed?
