I haven't been able to reconcile the Wiki with all the other docs out there, |
| 13 |
including other Gentoo docs. I finished up with this: |

I've found that fstrim only works on my VFAT /boot if it's been mounted |
| 34 |
during boot. If it's set to noauto in fstab, and then mounted with |
| 35 |
-odiscard, fstrim complains that "discard is not supported" |
