I don't have a concrete solution, but gnome-disk-utility (palimpsest), for instance, somehow recognizes that my hard drive is a SSD. This leads me to believe that there is an instruction set already available with which the type of a hard drive can be identified. -- You received this bug

You can detect the disk type from the following file: /sys/block/sda/queue/rotational Just cat it. 1 means it's rotational, 0 means it is an SSD. Just change sda to be the disk you want to inspect. You will also need root privileges to view the file. -- You received this bug notification

feasty Ok, assuming that this command will detect an SSD with good accuracy, another question is whether enabling TRIM for all SSDs would cause problems for some (e.g. unsupported SSD or server/enterprise SSD). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs,

I researched it about a year ago now for work and the kernel should probe the hardware to see if it supports TRIM. If it doesn't then it won't use it. It shouldn't cause any problems for people. If anyone knows differently then let me know. I've run disks with the discard option on normal

Looking at the initial commit for TRIM in the kernel I can see that it's calling ata_id_has_trim() and passing in the disks ID. This looks like it filters disks that don't support TRIM. You can see the commit for trim in the 2.6.33 kernel here:

As #10 says, there is a negative performance impact of mounting with discard. Personally I use fstrim in crontab instead. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/864051 Title: TRIM support

This bug affects me too. What I expect to happen when I install Ubuntu 12.04 is that it will support the TRIM by automatically entering the 'discard' option in the fstab file. I know you can do this manually but a lot of end-users do not even know how to deal with a terminal. This is a CRITICAL

The only reason we are asking this to be fixed is because some people are uncomfortable using the terminal to enable TRIM on their SSD. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/864051 Title:
