Although I do not have an SSD on this computer (I will have on my new laptop) a cron.weekly job is set up ready (/etc/cron.weekly/fstrim). So, if I understand you correctly, I should stop this from running, by commenting out the relevant lines or perhaps by renaming the file. Then I add the discard option to fstab. Do I then still need to run fstrim manually as and when? thanks, Neil -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
