12 I've just run fstrim manually on my LAN server, which is installed on ext4:
13 # /sbin/fstrim -av
14 /usr/local: 0 B (0 bytes) trimmed
15 /usr/portage/packages: 71.4 MiB (74878976 bytes) trimmed
16 /usr/portage: 389.3 MiB (408174592 bytes) trimmed
17 /var/cache/http-replicator: 0 B (0 bytes) trimmed
18 /var/cache/squid: 41.5 MiB (43532288 bytes) trimmed
19 /home: 123.1 MiB (129081344 bytes) trimmed
20 /: 698.9 MiB (732839936 bytes) trimmed

22 It's supposed to have done that at 01:15 on Saturday, but my KMail system is
