I am confused about whether I should use TRIM or DISCARD on my laptop.
I use LVM on top of LUKS and I do make frequent use of snapshots. Merging them to my root volume.
I have a regular HDD and not a SSD.
Will enabling TRIM and DISCARD help me?
No, it won't.
If so, how do I do that ? I have already tried enabling:
issue_discards=1
in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf and then dracut -f
But fstrim -v / still fails with :
fstrim: /: the discard operation is not supported
So how do I enable it in Fedora32 ?
There's nothing to enable. As it says, your LV and hard drive don't support discard.
However, I believe that it is useful for thin LVs, so after you've done the conversion, it's something you could try.
Do you think that last statement may be a bit confusing if he only has a HDD?
