Deploying to SSDs using TRIM
-
Hello there.
I have FOG installed on a VM on CentOS 7, FOG 1.2.0. We will be deploying images to Dell E7450s with SSDs and I wanted to speed up the deploy time. I’ve heard of the TRIM function, but am not familiar with it to get it going on this system so that it will speed up deploy time. I’m looking for any help on this and would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

to speed up deploy time, upgrade to trunk

See my signature for upgrading to trunk.

Does it matter when using SSDs whether or not to use that TRIM function? Or will be deploy time be affected by that at all?

The SSDs are not the bottleneck, gunzip is the bottle neck in 1.2.0
One person reported going from 1.5ish GB/min to 7+ GB/min by upgrading to the latest trunk version…
-
TRIM has to do with drive maintenance, not its out-of-os read or write time.

Wayne,
Can you post those links for upgrading to trunk? I think I will try that. Thanks!

On the old forum they were in my signature… They are in my signature now but for some reason they aren’t showing. I’m not totally sure why. Tom and Jbob are aware. I’ll post the links in a bit. You might look at my profile and see them, or search for “Upgrade to Trunk” in the WiKi.
