Root partition seems not to be trimmed
I have a Trixie system with two nvme disks, with a total of three
partitions.
Once a week Trixie does an fstrim. But it seems that one of the
partitions (the root file system partition) is not trimmed. I see this
in the log:
2025-11-17T00:56:12.619791+01:00 andy systemd[1]: Starting
fstrim.service - Discard unused blocks on filesystems from /etc/fstab...
2025-11-17T00:56:29.351018+01:00 andy fstrim[5599]: /disk2: 1.7 TiB

MiB (1067110400 bytes) trimmed on /dev/nvme0n1p1
2025-11-17T00:56:29.352097+01:00 andy systemd[1]: fstrim.service:
Deactivated successfully.
2025-11-17T00:56:29.352236+01:00 andy systemd[1]: Finished
fstrim.service - Discard unused blocks on filesystems from /etc/fstab.
But why does it seem not to trim the root partition (/dev/nvme0n1p2)?
The EFI partition on the same physical disk seems to be trimmed fine.
The fstrim command Trixie uses is:
# systemctl cat fstrim | grep ExecStart
ExecStart=/sbin/fstrim --listed-in /etc/fstab:/proc/self/mountinfo
--verbose --quiet-unsupported
My fstab contains
LABEL=ESPANDY /boot/efi vfat nofail,errors=remount-ro 0 2
LABEl=root / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
LABEL=disk2 /disk2 ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
Thanks,
Jesper
