@ryecoaaron Thank you for your answers. i am not paranoid Its the nature of me not wanting to use something without knowing the why. Its also what keeps me learning things.
Anyway you mentioned above to your answer to @tinh_x7 that he has to check if his drive supports discard.
After reading some info on how to check that I only came across how to check about trim support with command lsblk -D and checking the result <<TRIM/discard is available, if the DISC-MAX column is not 0B>>
Mine:
Code
root@openmediavault:~# lsblk -D
NAME DISC-ALN DISC-GRAN DISC-MAX DISC-ZERO
sda 0 0B 0B 0
└─sda1 0 0B 0B 0
sdb 0 512B 2G 0
├─sdb1 0 512B 2G 0
├─sdb2 0 512B 2G 0
├─sdb3 0 512B 2G 0
└─sdb5 0 512B 2G 0
sdc 0 0B 0B 0
└─sdc1 0 0B 0B 0

So it seems to support it.
Now if I run the command
Code
fstrim --verbose --all
I get the output
root@openmediavault:~# fstrim --verbose --all
/sharedfolders/Appdata: 90.3 GiB (96997376000 bytes) trimmed
/: 13.1 GiB (14060220416 bytes) trimmed
Does this feel like running the command manually? So I could somehow to create a cron task to run it regurarely?
