Are you using disk encryption? I came across a similar problem on my machines. It seems that somehow LUKS (dm-crypt) in Silverblue is not properly configured to pass discard commands. If I select disk encryption in Anaconda when installing Silverblue, fstrim does not work on the LUKS partition. Without disk encryption, TRIM works just fine. I have tested Silverblue 31 and Silverblue 32, the problem exists on both of them (only when using disk encryption). The problem is not present in regular Fedora Workstation 31 and 32.
Output of lsblk on my Fedora Silverblue 31 installation signalling that even though the storage device supports TRIM, it is blocked by LUKS (Silverblue 32 gives the same output):
[david@localhost ~]$ lsblk -D

I found a way to solve my problem with fstrim not working on LUKS on Silverblue. Comments in an old bug report #901888 provide some useful information. The problem seems to be caused by an omission of /etc/crypttab file in the initramfs image. This file is present in initramfs of Fedora Workstation (can be listed by the lsinitrd command), so I tried to include it in the initramfs of my Silverblue too:
[david@localhost ~]$ rpm-ostree initramfs --enable --arg=-I --arg=/etc/crypttab
After a reboot, fstrim works!
[david@localhost ~]$ lsblk -D

Thank you very much for the solution! :) You can just add `rd.luks.options=discard` to the kargs. That way rpm-ostree doesn't have to rebuild the initramfs on each new deployment. In my case, I also solved it by replicating the content of /etc/crypttab to the kargs (instead of rebuilding the initramfs): rpm-ostree kargs --append rd.luks.options=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx=discard Is there any reason why it is not done automatically during the installation, or is this a bug? This isn't really an rpm-ostree bug. The LUKS mount needs to have the discard option enabled, either via kargs, or by editing crypttab and rebuilding the initramfs (I suggest the former). Re-assigning to anaconda. This message is a reminder that Fedora 32 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 32 on 2021-05-25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '32'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 32 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. At a glance, it seems that the root cause is the same as bug 1890085 - a config file is missing in initramfs. The reason why it is missing is that Anaconda does not regenerate initramfs for rpm-ostree payloads, and that is because they are signed. This problem can be solved the same way, if it is still present. This problem can still be reproduced in fedora 34. (In reply to Jonathan Lebon from comment #6) > This isn't really an rpm-ostree bug.

I just installed Silverblue 35. I noticed "discard" was the last item on /etc/crypttab, however nothing in the boot options /boot/loader/entries/ostree-1-fedora.conf, /boot/loader/entries/ostree-2-fedora.confetc Seeing as it's installed now, what is the way to fix this outside of Anaconda?

My bad. I missed this post. This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 34 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 34 on 2022-06-07.

If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed. This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 36 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 36 on 2023-05-16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '36'.

Hello, Just a quick note to report that this issue is still persisting in Fedora 40. Regards, Vincent. |
