Description
Hi,
It would be possible to add an option to enable TRIM SSD in the GUI instead of via command line?
- Status changed from New to Rejected
No, it is not. The option cannot be changed while the disk is mounted. Also, hardware support for TRIM is not universal, and allowing anyone to enable it could be dangerous for the disk and its data if the drive did not properly support TRIM. At the moment, it is best left as a manual option so that it is only enabled by those who know for certain that their disks will function properly with it.
Hi Jim,
You made the right considerations. I'll continue to use the manual option.
Thanks in advance,

Could you add in the user interface instructions pasted from here or even just the link? https://gist.github.com/mdouchement/853fbd4185743689f58c
It took me quite a while to find out how to enable TRIM on freebsd (when I know for sure I do want trim - I have pfsense running inside KVM on linux and I have configured the backend sparse qcow2 file and libvirt to provide SCSI UNMAP feature to vm - after enabling trim and running `fsck_ffs -FE /`, pfsense returns back unused blocks to KVM/qcow2 file)
