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!"

    Please be more respectful in the future, as we're wrong more often than we like to think.

    He wasn't being disrespectful because he thought my post was technically inaccurate, he was being disrespectful because a lot of people don't like me on slashdot because I have strong opinions and mercilessly club their favorite things, which they feel deserve special treatment. Whether it's mac, linux, windows, open source, copyright, left, right, obama, palin, tea partier, communist, and the list goes on... any opinion I state winds up pissing off some fanboy. That's why I put it as my tagline --

    Not only do people downmod me for telling them their favorite band sucks, but they also upmod people who put down the evil heretic that is me. That's the only reason this guy got any points: It's GIT hate mail and a lot of lurker mods just eat it up.

    Me and misses did the monthly LTS trim of our immediate bush gardens. Performance hasnt really improved, and, stability cums and goes. This is a known issues when running a bloated OS like Ubuntu on critical hardware systems.

    We recently made a switch to a pure Debian based bush garden, the performance is superb. Too bad its over within a second or two.

    Get in there! Pre Xmas drink banter!
