I don't know if you have fstrim installed.........(I think in fsutils maybe)
If you do cd /; fstrim -v /,,,,, sometimes it takes 30 sec before the prompt comes back
What do you think it is doing in that 30 sec? *
Do it twice, sometimes the 2nd time has still a little to do (will take maybe 3-5 sec)
And if you do it a 3rd time, it is instant
(remember, up arrow recalls previous commands)
And obviously, if /home is a separate partition, do it on that partition
*it is erasing every block that it can, making the sectors ready for writing,
I don't think it is doing any garbage collection though, so there might be some data left
Recovery of erased data on flash is rather hard, just how valuable is your data?
