Yes, I knew regarding continuous trim or discard option, but from many side instead there is advice to use periodic or manual...

forgot to tell I'm using a nvme ssd with trim support

From Arch:

Discards
Note: Although continuous TRIM is an option (albeit not recommended) for SSDs, NVMe devices should not be issued discards.

in this case use cron https://blog.100tb.com/how-to-keep-your-ssds-fast-with-trim-on-linux

you need install and enable cronie-openrc or fcron-openrc too.

Edit: you can extend sript to

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/fstrim -av > /var/log/trim.log || true

to see, if it really works
