[Solved] Trim SSD

[Hallvor]

I got myself a brand new SSD for my computer, and thought I'd set up trim.

After having read a little online, I decided to try the following:

Code: Select all

# cp /usr/share/doc/util-linux/examples/fstrim.{service,timer} /etc/systemd/system

And

Code: Select all

# systemctl enable fstrim.timer

However, when I try to list it, the output is this:

Code: Select all

hallvor@debian-hp:~$ systemctl list-timers fstrim.timer --all
NEXT LEFT LAST PASSED UNIT         ACTIVATES
n/a  n/a  n/a  n/a    fstrim.timer fstrim.service

It basically doesn't say that much.

Is there some way I can tell of it is working, except waiting for a week?

Code: Select all

# systemctl start fstrim.timer

Or you could have used this command origianlly:

Code: Select all

# systemctl enable fstrim.timer --now

[Hallvor]

Code: Select all

# systemctl start fstrim.timer

Or you could have used this command origianlly:

Code: Select all

# systemctl enable fstrim.timer --now

Why didn't I think of that?

Code: Select all

root@debian-hp:/home/hallvor# systemctl start fstrim.timer
root@debian-hp:/home/hallvor# systemctl list-timers fstrim.timer
NEXT                          LEFT        LAST PASSED UNIT         ACTIVATES

Well, it should work now. Marking thread as solved. Thank you very much!
