Trim support on a usb ssd

[Serj-47]

Guys, how do I find out if TRIM is currently working in openwrt?
I connect my HDD BOX with an SSD drive to the usb port of the Beeline SmartBox GIGA router.
I checked the ssd parameters using hdparm and it reported that TRIM is supported.

hdparm -I /dev/sda1 |grep -i trim
* Data Set Management TRIM supported (limit 8 blocks)

After that, I formatted it into the f2fs file system and it looks like mkfs also says that trim is involved. Is that enough?

mkfs.f2fs /dev/sda1

        F2FS-tools: mkfs.f2fs Ver: 1.14.0 (2020-08-24)

fstrim -av?

fstrim -av
fstrim: /overlay: the discard operation is not supported

Do you have the package kmod-usb-storage-uas installed?

[Serj-47]

Yes, I installed this package before connecting the disk.

I also tried passing the mount directory directly to fstrim. But still the same problem..

fstrim -v /mnt/sda1
fstrim: /mnt/sda1: the discard operation is not supported

Mount:

/dev/sda1 on /mnt/sda1 type f2fs (rw,lazytime,relatime,background_gc=on,discard,no_heap,user_xattr,inline_xattr,inline_data,inline_dentry,flush_merge,extent_cache,mode=adaptive,active_logs=6,alloc_mode=default,fsync_mode=posix)

Did you ever figure this out ? I have the same issue .

[Serj-47]

In fact, I have not figured out how trim openwrt works and whether it works at all, for this reason I still use a hdd connected to the usb port of my router, instead of an ssd

This seems to be related to the fact that its a usb device . It behaves this way on my Kubunbtu 22.04 box as well .
I found this fstrim usb

I still havent gotten it to work
