1 Hi,
2
3 jyst out of curiosity:
4
5 I have a 512 MB NVMe SDD drive installed, which I had (currently)
6 formatted with one 256 MB root partition.
7 I bound /var and /tmp to hardisk.
8
9 Currently I am doing one Gentoo update a day and I am running
10 unstable.
11
12 Just to get a feeling, how often I need to fstrim / I do it
13 currently by hand once in a week.
14
15 Fstrim reports about 200 GiB of trimmed data.
16
17 From the gut this looks quite a lot -- the whole
18 partition is 256 GB in size.
19
20 Smartclt report for the drive:
21 Data Units Written: 700,841 [358 GB]
22
23 Each week 200 GiB fstrimmed data for a partition of
24 256 GB in size and since the beginning I have written
25 only 358 GB to it.
26
27 How does this all fit together?
28
29 Cheers!
