How do I enable periodic TRIM on MX Linux?

[gbhollr]

Right now, I'm configuring my own copy of MX Linux on a virtual machine to make a live ISO to install into my computer.
Since I'm using an SSD, I gotta know how to enable periodic TRIM but I see its a little more tricky to do than on a systemd-driven distro.

MX Linux already has util-linux installed so I'm lost over what to do next.
Thanks.

Trim is already enabled to execute once per week. The log is in /etc/var/log/trim.log to view when it was executed.
Correction: the log is in /var/log/trim.log

Just to add, Alt-F1 for the manual, Ctrl-F to search for 'trim', would have gotten you the information you wanted.

And in case you want check something was trimmed weekly,
have a look here:

Code: Select all

$ tail /var/log/trim.log 
/: 25.6 GiB (27494445056 bytes) trimmed

This thread made me realize there is no Wiki entry on "Trim" so I created a start to fill out later.
