This Page is my personal todo list for SSDcronTRIM. What you see here COULD be implemented in the future.

Feature	Probability of Inclusion	Description
Niceness	95%	As found in an ocz User Guide for corporate SSD it is advised to not start fstrim directly but to use nice and ionice together to make sure the trim will only be done when the disk is idle.
No full trim	80%	The ocz Guide also uses the fstrim Option -m 1M which lets fstrim complete more quickly for filesystems with badly fragmented freespace, although not all blocks will be discarded. This option only discards if a minimum of 1 Megabyte contiguous free range to discard is available.
Logging	75%	Right now we trim silently. Maybe i should add an option which allows to use a verbose fstrim (and then either email through the cronjob or output into a logfile).
asynchron cron	70%	If the system was not running when the cron should run, nothing will be done. And since not every one uses Anacron i should think about implementing a solution for that. One interessting way is described here where a simpler trim cronjob is executed after resuming from suspend
LUKS encrypted Partitions	50%	There is a german article on ubuntuusers.de which describes how to support the trim on encrypted disks. Before i can implement this i have to use LUKS by myself to understand where potential problems could be.
