TRIM help

Hello,

I was following this guide: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … ate-drive/ on optimization for running #! on my eee pc with its 4GB SSD. I'm stuck at the step with enabling TRIM...I'm now running 2.6.36-2.dmz.5-liquorix-686 and I tried enabling TRIM through fstab and I tested with the 50 MB random file but I didn't get the list of 0000s when reading the removed tempfile, so TRIM doesn't work...any solutions?

Kernel 3.2 from backports.

Re: TRIM help

You could post the contents of your fstab so I could double check them. Also, there are a lot newer kernels than that in the backports repos that you could be using, it might be worth trying one of them out. I think it's also possible that some older SSDs don't support TRIM.

Re: TRIM help

Yeah, take the newer kernels from backports, the one you use is old anyway.

Re: TRIM help

Well I tried to get Linux 3.2.0-9.dmz.1-liquorix-686 before but I'm supposed to install/upgrade gcc-4.6 and libmpc2, which gives me the message "The following packages have unsolvable dependencies. Make sure that all required repositories are added and enabled in the preferences." for gcc-4.6, is this true, can I find and add the repos for gcc-4.6 and it will work fine? I'm running low on memory * so I have to be careful. I think I did manage getting 3.2.0-9 after installing gcc-4.6-base but it resulted in kernel panic.

*(though I have very little installed stuff, just jre, libreoffice, dropbox and soon skype, and I uninstalled some stuff I don't need like abiword, gnumeric and xfburn (which are all rather small anyway), but I'm already at 3.13/3.67 GiB? I've installed and uninstalled some stuff, maybe not all the memory was freed? drive is 4GB and one ext4 gpt partition, no swap)

Re: TRIM help

We meant that you install the newer kernels from backports and not the Liquorix one, it is more for Testing/Unstable.
