TRIM on SG2220
-
Hello, I recently purchased a few SG2220's, with the mSATA ssd installed and to my surprise, trim was not enabled. I know how to go in to single user mode and do it, any reason this would not be on by default for this hardware that came with an ssd? Should I even worry?

You should ask the pfSense shop team and/or support if that mSATA is TRIM compatible or if only
their install script will be forgetting that. -
We discovered a problem with the installer not enabling TRIM in that case this week.
You can enable it manually by booting the system into single user mode, and running:
tunefs -t /dev/da1s1a
Though double check what your root partition actually is, I don't recall for sure off the top of my head what the M.2 shows up as in that case. 'dmesg |grep da0', then da1, etc. as needed to find it.

I rebooted my 2440 to single user mode, Option 2 and used this set of commands to check the trim status, enable trim and verify trim was set:
tunefs -p / tunefs -t enable / tunefs -p /
Issue a reboot command and get a shell, Option 8, and use the "tunefs -p /" to see that your change survived the reboot.

Ah yeah, thanks Stan, forgot it takes just / there as well. That's easier.
