Servus people, I'd like to request that installer goes a bit forward to users while detecting ssd drive. If you use (for example) a LUKS encrypted device, users have to manually modify an etc/crypttab adding there a discard option otherwise the fstrim won't work completely - and please note, that there's by default systemd fstrim.{service,timer} that is supposed to be automatically enabled when SSD is detected .. Similar problem is with lvm which requires a manual change to lvm.conf switching from default 0 to 1 an issue_discards= option .. summary (maybe not incomplete, I didn't cast all cases): 1) add please to installer support for LUKS encrypted drives/partitions that the crypttab contains discard option (and initrd is properly updated) 2) add please to installer support for switching automatically issue_discards= options in case of SSD+lvm is detected ... remarks: 1) fstrim security related issue is described here http://asalor.blogspot.cz/2011/08/trim-dm-crypt-problems.html and after reading that article I consider it as completely minor significance 2) suggestion regarding fstrim timer is discused in bugreport #1043602 3) JFYI my drive layout is this: # lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 238.5G 0 disk ├─sda2 8:2 0 299M 0 part /boot ├─sda3 8:3 0 237.7G 0 part │ └─cr_ata-SanDisk_X400_M.2_2280_256GB_170141800292-part3 254:0 0 237.7G 0 crypt │ ├─rpool-swap 254:1 0 8G 0 lvm [SWAP] │ ├─rpool-root 254:2 0 30G 0 lvm / │ └─rpool-home 254:3 0 199.7G 0 lvm /home └─sda1 8:1 0 500M 0 part regards, daniel
