I get the following error emailed to me every day at 01:00.  I have basically determined that it's my external drive, the Unassigned Devices (plus?) app and the error has something to do with the fact that it is not an SSD drive.  

 

fstrim: /mnt/disks/ST8000DM004-2CX188_ZCT141ZM: the discard operation is not supported

 

The problem is, i don't know how to stop the error from happening?!   Please assist.  

 

 

Thank you,

 

 

* edit... i meant to say i think it's the 'Dynamix SSD TRIM' app

correct myself

Some SMR drives report trim support, and so the plugin expects trim to work, possible solution would be to only trim non rotational devices.

I want to say thank you and move on, but I am uncertain on how to do what you say.  Can you further assist?

That would need to be corrected in the plugin by the author (or any other coder).

Uninstall the plugin and with the user scripts plugin, use this as a script running on whatever schedule you want

#!/bin/bash
fstrim -v /mnt/cache

That'll only trim the cache drive
