  $ strace -v fstrim -v /
  ...
  ioctl(3, FITRIM, 0x7fff4d693590)        = -1 EOPNOTSUPP (Operation not supported)
  ...

Interestingly, fstrim's error message has changed from the more precise

  fstrim: /: FITRIM ioctl failed: Operation not supported

(e.g. in 2.23.2) to a probably more user-friendly

  fstrim: /: the discard operation is not supported

(in the current git version).

Have a nice day,
Berny
