When Xubuntu became available as download from xubuntu.org I installed it to a new Asus motherboard with Samsung 250Gb M.2 960 evo SSD. The usb install took < 3.5 minutes. Additional installs included i386 libs for my backup software and openssh-client/server, iotop. I only have a basic xubuntu install.
My hdd light never stops blinking with activity, every 2 sec. I logged disk io with iotop for as much as 12 hours. I was alarmed to see that fstrim -av after 12 hours shows 211 Gb trimmed. I wonder how long this SSD will survive in that box? iotop shows r/w/ [jbd2/nvme0n1p2-] which is journaling for ext4 for 08:50:21, 08:50:27, 08:50:33, . . .n with imbeded kworker threads during these times, which show 0.0/Bps. I have reached the end of the internet in searches to solve this problem. I have searched at least 3 days/wk for the last month for solutions & have tried some to no avail. I have been an avid Xubuntu user since 2006 and now have 5 Xubuntu boxes here. When new LTS releases are introduced I use Aptik to perform clean installs on all my computers. It pains me now to look for another Linux distribution, but this is where I am at this point in time. (I may try format to ext3 and install). During my solution searches, this problem arises back to Ubuntu 10. Any Ideas? Note: Installing 16.04 has same results on that box. Samsung 960 evo was updated w/latest firmware which was already intalled. I am writing this email on Asus M.2 box with an older motherboard and M.2 SSD which has NO blinking hdd.
