Subject: [PATCH proxmox-backup 1/5] tools: add helper to run fstrim command on path or mountpoint
Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 15:36:45 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260319143649.681937-3-c.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260319143649.681937-1-c.ebner@proxmox.com>
Runs the fstrim on the filesystem mounted at given mountpoint or path
on the filesystem, allowing to discard unused blocks on the backing
disk. By invoking with `verbose` flag enabled, statistics are
gathered in the output to show on result. Setting `quiet-unsupported`
allows to run the command without error also on filesystems without
support [0].
With the intention to run this as scheduled job on a datastore's
backing filesystem.
