shouldn't that value goes down nearer to zero after few runs ? - I let it run now at every 5 hours -it runs for about 15 min at my 240GB SSD - but the output is always 38 GB or so.

toralf,

Code:
# /sbin/fstrim -av
/usr/local: 970.6 MiB (1017745408 bytes) trimmed
/opt: 672.1 MiB (704757760 bytes) trimmed
/var: 3.1 GiB (3313926144 bytes) trimmed
/usr: 19.5 GiB (20948844544 bytes) trimmed
/: 695.7 MiB (729473024 bytes) trimmed
NeddySeagoon_Static ~ # /sbin/fstrim -av
/usr/local: 0 B (0 bytes) trimmed
/opt: 0 B (0 bytes) trimmed
/var: 0 B (0 bytes) trimmed
/usr: 0 B (0 bytes) trimmed
/: 0 B (0 bytes) trimmed


Seems to work for me but I used the -a option too

And I get (again) :
Code:
t44 ~ # /sbin/fstrim -av
/: 37.3 GiB (40041742336 bytes) trimmed

~ $ equery b /sbin/fstrim
 * Searching for /sbin/fstrim ...
sys-apps/util-linux-2.24.1-r3 (/sbin/fstrim)

~ $ mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/sda3 on / type btrfs (rw,noatime)

man 8 fstrim wrote:
Code:
       -v, --verbose
              Verbose execution.  With this option fstrim will output the number
              of  bytes  passed  from the filesystem down the block stack to the
              device for potential discard.  This number is  a  maximum  discard
              amount from the storage device's perspective, because FITRIM ioctl
              called repeated will keep sending the  same  sectors  for  discard
              repeatedly.

              fstrim will report the same potential discard bytes each time, but
              only sectors which had been written to between the discards  would
              actually  be discarded by the storage device.  Further, the kernel
              block layer reserves the right to adjust the discard ranges to fit
              raid  stripe  geometry,  non-trim  capable devices in a LVM setup,
              etc.  These reductions would not be reflected in  fstrim_range.len
              (the --length option).

Not sure what output you're expecting, given this description.

If I run it 2 times in a row I'd expect a similar output like yours, meaning "0 B (0 bytes) trimmed "

fstrim w/ btrfs is buggy.
1. it don't remember trim state, always trim whole partition again
2. it don't trim unallocated chunk. space outside used in command "btrfs fi df <dir>"
3. it use vrange to iterate chunks. If vrange large than prange, it would trim nothing

ick, ok, so I used this /etc/fstab entires for now :
Code:
/dev/sda3               /               btrfs           noatime,ssd,discard,compress=lzo
