Running fstrim frequently, or even using mount -o discard, might |
18 |
negatively affect the lifetime of poor-quality SSD devices. For most |
19 |
desktop and server systems a sufficient trimming frequency is once a |

21 |
command incurs a performance penalty on whatever else might be trying to |
22 |
use the disk at the time. |
