Wednesday 20 November 2024 - Keep your filesystem looking trim

We have used SSDs in our hosting products for a long time now as the advantages over spinning disks are clear, however we've never exposed the TRIM facility to virtualised guests.

It should already be enabled on more recent guest images however if it is not, you can enable it with:

systemctl enable fstrim.timer
systemctl start fstrim.timer
