That's not in the Gentoo tree. Hmmmmm. I ran fstrim on my root and var partitions and got this. root@Gentoo-1 / # fstrim -v / /: 13.7 GiB (14676369408 bytes) trimmed root@Gentoo-1 / # fstrim -v /var /var: 43.9 GiB (47162359808 bytes) trimmed root@Gentoo-1 / # It looks like /var changes more than root does. I kinda wish I just could run it on the whole m.2 stick and it do its thing regardless of mount point. From the looks of the man page tho, that isn't a option. I still haven't figured out how I want to setup the newest m.2 stick. I'm thinking about using dm-setup to encrypt it, or most of it anyway. Dale :-) :-)
