Have been running v6.1.0 stable for a very long time. (and many other stable versions before that also) Did a in-situ upgrade to v7.0.0 and the later patch. Everything looked fine. However now it is somewhat unstable. 3 times the last week it has totally "frozen". Not able to reach the rpi3+

That first large unmap will happen only the first run after boot. After that it will only be the bytes that have changed since the last unmap. So I would run a trim even (in the background) shortly after booting your device. Then on a weekly cron job. piCorePlayer a small player for the

Success! With the 'unmap' provisioning mode made persistent by following Paul's guidance for editing bootlocal.sh, I can now issue the fstrim command after a reboot. Code: tc@pCPServer:~$ sudo fstrim -v /mnt/Music /mnt/Music: 45572067328 bytes trimmed

I've just seen the announcement that 8.1 has been release, so took the opportunity to check on the state of affairs with the Docker container. I see there are now quite a lot of different tags on there. Can I suggest some 'named' tags that are updated to make it easier for people to keep track

They changed the names in the 5.4 kernels. The old way of having 2 devices with the same name, switching between them was really "hacky". piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM. Homepage: https://www.picoreplayer.org Please 'donate'

If you read the threads, the Asmedia adapters are going to be dependent on the firmware loaded on the adapter. It doesn't surprise me that the M.2 drive is faster though... piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM. Homepage: https://www.picoreplayer.org Please 'donate'
