Out-of-the-Box, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS To Support TRIM On SSDs

Posted by timothy on from the keep-it-snappy dept.

First time accepted submitter Maurits van der Schee writes "Where in older versions you had to add a cron job calling "fstrim" or mounting with the "discard" option in fstab, the new LTS (Long Term Stable) version of Ubuntu Linux will automatically enable TRIM for your SSD. Good news for hardware enthusiasts!"

    I've been choosing btrfs through the debian installer for at least a couple of years now.

    Dude you so have to try ZFS. It's aweso--

    Yes, I know it's not as awesome as ZFS, but it still beats mdraid and lvm.

    Oh--sorry. Got ahead of myself there. Good thing you stopped me in time.
