I install gentoo on an SSD and use btrfs, pls see below

Code:
mount |grep btrfs|grep rootlv
 cat /etc/fstab |grep btrfs|grep rootlv
/dev/ssdvg/rootlv       /               btrfs   defaults,noatime,compress=lzo,ssd,nobarrier,space_cache,subvol=root             0 0
/dev/ssdvg/rootlv       /home/scsi/usr          btrfs   defaults,noatime,compress=lzo,ssd,nobarrier,space_cache,subvol=scsissd/usr   0 0
/dev/ssdvg/rootlv       /home/scsi/vm           btrfs   defaults,noatime,compress=lzo,ssd,nobarrier,nodatacow,space_cache,subvol=scsissd/vm           0 0


I decide use fstrim instead of mout with discard

when I fstrim on them, they all return same size
Code:
for fs in / /home/scsi/usr /home/scsi/usr ; do fstrim -v $fs; done
/: 3 GiB (3189985280 bytes) trimmed
/home/scsi/usr: 3 GiB (3189985280 bytes) trimmed
/home/scsi/usr: 3 GiB (3189985280 bytes) trimmed


Should I need to trim all subvolume or just trim one of them?

another quesion is every time i fstrim btrfs mount point. They alway return same size and never to zero
Code:
su:acernb ~ # fstrim -v /
/: 3 GiB (3189985280 bytes) trimmed
su:acernb ~ # fstrim -v /
/: 3 GiB (3189985280 bytes) trimmed


but on ext4. after fstrim, it can reach zero.
Code:
su:acernb bin # fstrim -v /boot
/boot: 91 MiB (95364096 bytes) trimmed
su:acernb bin # fstrim -v /boot
/boot: 0 B (0 bytes) trimmed


How can I fix it?

thank a lot

The btrfs numbers are all equal between subvolumes because they share the same storage area. Think of it like a chroot.

You should only need to run fstrim once per physical device, not per logical filesystem.

Not sure about the last question, the fstrim manpage says btrfs's unchanging output for -v is expected though. ext4 may be doing something more clever.
