WARNING:
This documentation is a draft and is not meant for production use. Branch: OL10-FSADMIN
Configure the fstrim
systemd timer unit to periodically trim unused
blocks on a file system.
Enabling the fstrim
timer unit automate the discard process, ensuring
that the file system remains optimized over time. The default timer unit is
configured to run the fstrim
operation weekly, but you can change
the frequency by creating a systemd override drop-in unit and setting the
OnCalendar
directive.
