VMs have already TRIM enabled by default, but dom0 doesn't. There are some security implications (read for example [this article](http://asalor.blogspot.com/2011/08/trim-dm-crypt-problems.html)), but IMO not very serious.
|
|
|
|
To enable TRIM in dom0 you need:
|
|
|
|
1. Get your LUKS device UUID:
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
ls /dev/mapper/luks-*
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
2. Add entry to `/etc/crypttab` (replace luks-\<UUID\> with the device name and the \<UUID\> with UUID alone):
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
luks-<UUID> UUID=<UUID> none allow-discards
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
3. Add `rd.luks.allow-discards=1` to kernel cmdline (`/etc/default/grub`, GRUB\_CMDLINE\_LINUX line)
|
|
4. Rebuild grub config (`grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg`)
|
|
5. Rebuild initrd **in hostonly mode**:
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
dracut -H -f
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
6. Add "discard" option to `/etc/fstab` for root device
|
|
7. Reboot the system, verify that allow-discards is really enabled (`dmsetup table`)
|
|
|
|
There is a [bug affecting allow-discards option](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=890533), once it will be fixed, first two steps will be no longer needed.
