[solved] fstrim for SSD

[sango]

Hi

I have installed a new SSD on my machine
fstrim runs by default
but when i do a status on it. I get following output

Code: Select all

fstrim.service - Discard unused blocks
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/fstrim.service; static; vendor preset: enabled)
   Active: inactive (dead) since Mon 2018-10-22 10:26:49 IST; 2min 23s ago
  Process: 2874 ExecStart=/sbin/fstrim -av (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
 Main PID: 2874 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

Oct 22 10:26:49 Aspire-A515-51G systemd[1]: Started Discard unused blocks.

As can be seen from output

Code: Select all

Active: inactive (dead) since Mon 2018-10-22 10:26:49 IST; 2min 23s ago

Is this normal? I suppose Active should have been Active

PS: - I already did restarting the service fstrim

Are you on 19? That output is normal.

Run journalctl | grep fstrim in a terminal to check for it's log entries - it's a weekly job run on on a timer by default.

Code: Select all

$ systemctl status fstrim.timer
● fstrim.timer - Discard unused blocks once a week
