stupid question time;
- UEFI boot
- dedicated UEFI partition on HDD ?
e.g.
[chuck@lizum ~.2003]$ sudo parted /dev/nvme0n1
GNU Parted 3.3

To my understanding yes
at some point.
(this WILL scare you)
sudo systemctl enable fstrim
sudo systemctl start fstrim
It force releases the unused pages in the SSD.
On my 1TB, it takes about 15 seconds of blistering SSD activity and the system otherwise frozen. (nothing gets lost – the SSD is that busy)
The benefit is SSD wear leveling. All i/o will be improved.

Thanks a lot - I had not really thought about Trim for this machine. On my Windows machines this is set up as an automatically recurring task
Took less than 2s on my server (smaller drive and almost empty)
