disk

I am trying to increase the size of the hard disk of my Lubuntu 20.04 VM (on Proxmox 8.2.5). I used the resize option in the PVE UI, then started the VM and used cfdisk to resize the disk to use the newly-created free space (increasing from 122GB to 202GB). cfdisk now shows the partition as the...

This is a tutorial on how to make fstrim run more often or on days that you wish. This could be handy if you have stuff continuously writing to the drives which then later gets deleted, which would cause it to create a large amount of unused data. For example, I have a Minecraft server running...
