WARNING: /ssd_db: TRIM flag on fs but disk does not confirm that it
supports TRIM

The filesystem is classic UFS2.

Is TRIM supported throught gmirror, or not?

I think 8.4 is way too old for this. I have a number of 9.2 boxes - and
even on those, TRIM doesn't propagate through gmirror *yet* (at the
time, which is a few months ago I seem to remember reading 'It should
work soon' - but 9.2 doesn't appear to).

You can use gstat to show if any calls to BIO_DELETE are being made - i.e.

gstat -d

On the systems here the 'd/s' (which afaik is 'BIO_DELETE/second')
remains stubbornly at zero :(

Thank you for pointing me to gstat -d. d/s is really zero all the time.

The flipside is with decent SSD's these days TRIM isn't quite so
important... Some may even argue that *not* issuing heaps of BIO_DELETE
on the I/O channel is actually faster - so long as the SSD has time to
play catchup and isn't pegged all the time, I think they may be right :-)

The SSDs in question are holding /var/db/mysql with heavily used InnoDB tables (grow only ibdata file, few deletes of MyISAM tables) so maybe there are not much delete commands at all.

Thank you.
