fstrimTool
fstrimTool is a term that may refer to software utilities designed to issue TRIM or discard commands to filesystems in order to reclaim unused blocks on solid-state storage. It is not a single standardized program; rather, it often denotes a wrapper around the Linux fstrim command or a component within a storage-management toolkit. In practice, such tools automate and centralize TRIM operations on servers, desktops, or virtualized environments.
Most implementations support scheduling, on-demand runs, dry-run modes, and reporting. They typically operate by invoking fstrim
Usage commonly includes running against all mounted discard-enabled filesystems or a specific mount point. For example,
Limitations include limited usefulness on non-SSD storage, potential performance impact during trim runs, and possible interaction
