TRIM support on SSDs 3 years 19 weeks ago

Does Suse have any software based TRIM support available or that is in the works?

I know there is to a degree new firmware becoming available that supports TRIM (although some are pretty rudimentary) but windows 7 does a fairly good job software side and upgrading the firmware occasionally involves the unbridled joy that is wiping the drive and starting again.

F17: SSD TRIM RAID not working 47 weeks 6 days ago

I installed a new box with F17 with all updates.

The box has an SSD drive that is part of a RAID-1 array.

/boot is also on this SSD on a regular partition.

I have configured for TRIM(discard) but no TRIM seems to be occurring.

I have done the following to support TRIM:

Code: checked that the SSD supports TRIM by running hdparm -I /dev/sda

added noatime,discard options in /etc/

File System Tweaks 2 years 40 weeks ago

First off at the very, very minimum one needs to slice up their drives with -/boot//var/log/homeAlso I would recommend an additional slice for /tmp also, but that depends on how much drive space you have, 2-4 Gig is usually fineReason for the extra slices is boot really does need to be secure and root needs to be isolated from home and log.   For those who just put everything on one slic

SSD, Linux kernel, and TRIM 2 years 28 weeks ago

Hello all,after a HDD failure a week ago forced me into replacing it + reinstalling my OS, I went for an SSD and also took the opportunity to migrate from Windows (Vista) to Linux (CrunchBang). Very happy with my decision so far!

All you have to do really is open up /etc/fstab and add the "discard" option to the partition you're trying to enable TRIM on.Also, here is a random question for you.I've messed up my Tint2 config file pretty bad with experimentation, how would I go about resetting it?

Mach ssd zif 45 weeks 5 days ago

Hi everyone,

I just upgraded my laptop to a Mach 120Gb ZIF SSD. Unfortunatly it does not support TRIM but it does do Garbage Collection Support (?)

Having my server running of an OCZ with TRIM I know I want to make some changes for F17 to play nice with my SSD. But since it is not TRIM supported, what should I do.

Special software?

If someone gets an SSD that has TRIM support in the firmware and loads Fedora 12, does the I/O layer have support for TRIM yet? Or is it something where you need to add a flag to the kernel at boot time?

Scenario: -- Debian Xen dom0 -- SSD drive setup as LVM PV/single Volume Group. -- Debian pv_ops-based domU setup on LVM logical volume. -- File system inside domU is ext4 with discard option enabled.

Question: Will the TRIM command generated inside the domU pass through these layers and reach the physical SSD?

Some older drives may not support TRIM. It's still safe to use, just as you populate it with data and erase things over time the performance may degrade. You can clear the memory cells and revert it back to its factory condition, but this will result in a complete loss of all data on the disk.
