## FSTRIM BASICS
|
||||
|
||||
fstrim should be run regularly to clean up disk space.
|
||||
You can think of it as a more modern form of disk defragmentation.
|
||||
It potentially can extend the life of an ssd hard drive.
|
||||
|
||||
fstrim should be run once a week, but should also not be more often.
|
||||
The most basic essential command to run fstrim is:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo fstrim -a -v -m 1MB
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Be conscientious when running fstrim like this, as the -a flag indicates we wish
|
||||
to run fstrim on all mounted file systems that accept this command. The -m 1MB
|
||||
indicates we wish to only trim in minimum of 1 megabyte chunks. The -v flag
|
||||
indicates we wish to see 'verbose' output (like many UNIX/UNIX-like commands).
