Hi,
I have been trying to enable Trim support on a Luks-encrypted SSD. I have followed the steps on the Arch Wiki.
Exact steps I performed:
- Added the
discard
option for each device to/etc/crypttab
- Added the
rd.luks.options=discard
kernel flag to the Grub config (/etc/default/grub
) - Rebuilt initramfs (
sudo dracut -f
), regenerated the Grub config (sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
) and rebooted
Still, discard/Trim support would not enable. Which I check with sudo dmsetup table | grep discard
. I must be missing something, could you please provide your thoughts?
Configs:
