[SOLVED] SSD discard not working

i have a solid state disk and want to use the discard option. my fstab is this:
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
tmpfs /var/lock tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
tmpfs /var/run tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
tmpfs /var/log tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
/dev/sda2 / ext4 defaults,noatime,discard 0 1
I also activated discard on that partition via tune2fs -o discard /dev/sda2
however, my mount output is this:
proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
/sys on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
/dev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=1020848k,nr_inodes=224476,mode=755)
/run on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755)
/dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (rw,noatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,data=ordered)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000)
shm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime)
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime)
tmpfs on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime)
tmpfs on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime)
tmpfs on /var/log type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime)
gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/wombat/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=100)
so it looks like sda2 is mounted without discard. what's wrong here?

I am glad to have helped.  I created a new partition on my ssd, and I wanted to see if my drive worked as expected.  So I tested it out using the tune2fs -o discard method. 
$ mount -l
/dev/sdb5 on /mnt type ext4 (rw,noatime,data=ordered)
As you can see, no indication that trim is present or on.
Here is after I wrote a file
hdparm --read-sector 168866824 /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb:

...and here is after I deleted the file

0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
As you can see it is working flawlessly.  I think I may turn this option on with all my ssd partitions.  Maybe also get some noatime up in this sh*t!
Edit:  It no likey my attempts to add noatime.  I guess that is not meant to be set this way.

  • Solved rEFInd does not work after update

    Hello.
    Today, I updated rEFInd with yaourt.
    After the update, I copied the new files in /boot/efi.
    I rebooted and now rEFInd does not work.
    The only message I got is:
    rEFInd - Initializing
    After 2-3 minutes, the computer reboots and I got the same error message.
    To boot, I had to use the UEFI shell.
    First of all, is there a log file for rEFInd?
    It is not easy at all to debug it when we don't have any error messages.
    After that, I did the procedure to install rEFInd in /boot/efi twice without any success.
    Do you know what to do to solve my problem?
    Thanks for your help.

  • [SOLVED] luks-passphrase not working after update

    SOLVED: Hard drive was damaged. new hard drive ''fixed'' issue
    Hello,
    i updated my arch on 2015-06-05. After restarting my cryptsetup does not accept my password anymore.
    No key available with this passphrase.
    Searching the forum i found a couple of simular topics, nevertheless none of them offered a solution to the problem:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=169408
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=175737
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=148562
    So the solutions that did not work so far:
    1. Downgrading cryptsetup package
    2. Downgrading kbd package
    3. Checked that my keyboard works just fine (both in grub and in live system)
    4. Manualy loading the aes modules in live system to ensure correct decryption (found that issue somewhere...)
    Unfortunatly i did not backup the luks header file.
    So i don't know if there is some other way to check if the header is broken or how to find out why it will not decrypt my disk.
    I am happy for any solutions or ideas

    file -s -L /dev/mapper/foobar
    hexdump -C /dev/mapper/foobar
    Gives me the master key for the decrypted partition (denoted as forum_key_kex).
    Do i need to convert this to binary or something to use it...?
    Assume Filesystem/dev_sda2 is the partition to decrypt.
    So to decrypt the partition directly with master key i have to do one of the following, wasn't sure which hash to take...:
    echo "0 `blockdev --getsz Filesystem/dev_sda2` crypt aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 `echo SomeEncrypt | sha256sum | head -c 64` 0 Filesystem/dev_sda2 4096" | dmsetup create luks_volume
    echo "0 `blockdev --getsz Filesystem/dev_sda2` crypt aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 `sha256sum forum_key_hex | head -c 64` 0 Filesystem/dev_sda2 4096" | dmsetup create luks_volume
    as i found on:
    http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions … master-key
    (approved by you in the comment as it seems)
    But both give me an error:
    device-mapper: resume ioctl on luks_volume failed: Invalid argument
    Command failed
    Did i even do this right?
    Also when i copied the partition to an external device dd_rescue observed 6 errors in blocks. So those might just be the cause of failure all the time.

  • [SOLVED] Sound (snd_hda_intel) not working after resume from suspend

    Using the latest kernel 2.6.30.4, On HP2133, whenever I get back from resume, sound is not working.
    Running the following brings back the sound, but that is obviously a hack:
    fuser -k /dev/snd/*
    rmmod snd_hda_intel
    modprobe snd_hda_intel
    /etc/rc.d/alsa start
    I have on my /etc/modprobe/50-sound.conf:
    options snd-hda-intel model=laptop
    alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
    alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
    Here's the exact hardware specification:
    # lspci -nnv|grep Audio
    80:01.0 Audio device [0403]: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] (VIA High Definition Audio Controller) [1106:3288] (rev 10)
    Any idea where to look for this?

    [SOLVED]
    I downgraded to kernel 2.6.29 and the problem is gone.
    Note: I also had X VT problems with 2.6.30.4 (xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call). Those were solved too by downgrading to 2.6.29.

    When you copy 10-evdev.conf file into /etc/X11 you completly override previous system configuration. It's the reason copying synaptics configuration file into /etc/X11 fixes the issue
    Defining default system configuration in /etc/X11 with previous xorg was a mistake, now it's fixed.
    Wiki should be fixed. It's not a packaging bug, but a configuration bug.
    @lordheavy
    I agree with you that the new xf86-input-synaptics package is using the right configuration scheme, however it is breaking the functionality on every installed system. It was a packaging bug, which is now fixed, but it has to be handled manually by most users of previous versions. That's why I won't re-open the bug report FS#41589. Instead, I am asking here: shouldn't this change be notified to the users just like it has been done for most breaking changes on archlinux frontpage news?
    By the way, thanks for your great work.

  • T60 and SSD - AHCI not working

    Hello to all !
    I have a Samsung SSD 840 pro, 128G, in a T60 1951-a47. I did a fresh install of Windows 7, all seems OK.
    Following suggestions in other posts and in other forums, I tried to set AHCI on to use TRIM for my SSD. I went in BIOS, and changed from "Compatibility" to "AHCI", but unfortunately I couldn't boot anymore, even in safe mode, I saw BSOD saying there was an error. I turned again to "compatibility", and all returned fine. Now, my system is working OK.
    Now, how can I turn to AHCI to use TRIM for my SSD ?
    Thanks, Enrico

  • Lenovo Thinkpad Edge S430 SSD cache not working???

    Hi guys,
    I just got my S430 a couple of days ago. Installed Windows 8 x64 (RTM).
    Everything was working ok. More or less. But now SSD cache just "dissapeared". Whenever I try to initialize it from the computer manager it throws a I/O error, and the installer cannot identify the SSD.
    Ideas? Is it dead? (within a week of buying it!!! )
    If I helped you, please give me some kudos! ^^

    Thanks for your reply, lead_org. My apologies, I didn't see the reply before.
    Is not the mSATA port, but the mSATA SSD. It's being detected, both in W7 and W8, both in this machine and in a Lenovo E420s. But it's not working at all (I/O error, yada yada).
    Thing is, to ask for the warranty, Lenovo wants me to send the whole notebook. And I need it to work, so it's a no-go.
    I guess I just lost 35 bucks of the mSATA SSD cost. :@
    If I helped you, please give me some kudos! ^^

  • Solved - Helix pen not working

    I think this might be helpful to those who suffer she same problem: My OS is Windows 8.1. One day the pen just stoped working. Seems that there was no problem with hardware and driver - nothing wrong but the pen. Then another day my Norton, which was pre-installed on my Helix, expired and I decided to unistall it. Surprisingly after uninstallation the pen started to work!

    Tried it in the BIOS, looks like it's a hardware problem.  Lenovo service was surprisingly quick and direct on the phone.  They provided me the option of sending it in (with a 7 day turnaround), or taking it to a local warranty service center (on Long Island).  I'll check out the local center first tomorrow.

    Try booting into BIOS and seeing if the pen works there (although the BIOS is text based it will respond to touch and pen inputs, e.g. you can select the various menus screens by touching the text with the pen).
    If the pen does work in BIOS, then the problem is probably software\driver related and reinstalling\refreshing Windows should solve the problem.
    If the pen does not work in BIOS, then the problem is probably hardware related and you will need to contact Lenovo support to arrange a repair\repacement.

  • [SOLVED] DVB-T Not working with 2.6.30

    Hey, I just upgraded to 2.6.30 and my DVB-T card (TerraTec Piranha) which uses the siano driver doesn't work anymore.
    It worked fine before the upgrade but doesn't register any DVB-T device since the reboot after the upgrade (Atleast kaffeine doesn't show the DVB-T button and dmesg doesn't list that a new device was registered).
    After starting my computer:
    [fox@PC103 ~]$ dmesg | grep sms

    Unluckily enough I don't know what the log looked like before the upgrade.
    Whats wrong? How do I get DVB-T working again?
    //Edit:
    [fox@PC103 ~]$ sudo modprobe smsdvb
    did the trick!
    - Shouldn't this be done by default?!
    PS / Not related to topic: While I'm at it, how could I fix this: "WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/framebuffer_blacklist.pacsave, it will be ignored in a future release." - I get it about twenty times at startup since some time.
    //Edit:
    Fixed by removing the file and using framebuffer_blacklist.conf instead

    Hiya, I was having the identical problem with an Acer AspireOne D250 netbook using the atl1c kernel mod.  The Arch Wiki entry for my netbook specifically has a workaround posted, though I believe it's applicable here:
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ace … e_D250_LAN
    With Archlinux 2009.08 the installation did not work from the beginning on an Aspire One D250. The LAN was not working properly. This could be traced down to the Kernel 2.6.30 which had broken network drivers. To get the LAN working, use the Archlinux core install. After installing Archlinux, get the Kernel 2.6.31 and the Kernel Headers on a USB stick and install it via "pacman -U". After rebooting, the LAN should work properly.
    Hope this helps!

  • [SOLVED]find command not working correctly new version of findutils...

    After upgrading my findutils from 4.2.33-1 to 4.4.0-1, it is not working the way it used to. I downgraded to the old one and it is working fine again. However, I am wondering why the newer version can't do what I want it to...
    Typically I run the following script to apply mp3gain to my music collection (albums and individual songs):
    #!/bin/bash
    echo Albums...
    find . -mindepth 3 -iname '*.mp3' -execdir mp3gain -k -a {} +
    echo Single tracks...
    find . -maxdepth 2 -iname '*.mp3' -exec mp3gain -k -r {} +
    On the old version, for the albums, the "find" function works as expected by examining the entire album before applying gain. With the new findutils version, the albums are being analysed song-by-song. I suppose since the new version of findutils, there is just a different method to do what I wanted before with -execdir. Does anyone know how to do it on the new version?
    Last edited by tony5429 (2008-07-19 06:29:41)

    Cool. Thanks for the suggestion. I ended up going with...
    #!/bin/bash
    echo Albums...
    for album in */*
    do
    cd "$album" > /dev/null 2>&1
    if [ $? = 0 ]
    then
    mp3gain -k -a *.mp3
    cd ..
    cd ..
    fi
    done
    echo Single tracks...
    find . -maxdepth 2 -iname '*.mp3' -exec mp3gain -k -r {} +
    exit 0

  • [SOLVED] Rosgarden package not working

    Hi everybody,
    it's my first post here, so I hope I get all things done.
    I installed the new version of Rosegarden (10.02; i686 architecture) for the first time yesterday evening. I wanted to check out its features.
    Rosegarden's package information:
    http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra … osegarden/
    I usually start programs via the Bash. But when starting Rosegarden this error occurs:
    [user@asterix ~]$ rosegarden
    rosegarden: symbol lookup error: rosegarden: undefined symbol: _ZN9QListData7detach3Ev
    It seems that there's something (a package?!?) missing.
    I installed Rosegarden with Pacman:
    [2010-02-15 19:37] synchronizing package lists
    [2010-02-15 19:41] installed liblrdf (0.4.0-6)
    [2010-02-15 19:41] installed liblo (0.26-1)
    [2010-02-15 19:41] installed dssi (1.0.0-3)
    [2010-02-15 19:41] installed rosegarden (10.02-1)
    According to Rosegarden's package information the following packages are required (the missing one were installed by Pacman itself; in brackets the installed version):
    - fftw (3.2.2-1)
    - qt (4.5.3-4)
    - liblrdf (0.4.0-6)
    - dssi (1.0.0-3)
    - ladspa (1.13-2)
    - liblo (0.26-1)
    - lirc-utils (0.8.6-3)
    - shared-mime-info (0.71-1)
    I've searched for previous errors:
    http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=82791
    There's no relation to my problem.
    It would be great if someone has a clue what to do. I hope all necessary information were mentioned.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    sorry for my late reply, but I was busy the all day long.
    Thank you 'drcouzelis' for the tip to build Rosegarden on my own (with ABS).
    The building process took a while on my old AMD Athlon XP 1900+ but it works now.
    Unfortunately I don't know what went wrong before. It's the first package (within Pacman) which does not work since I've been using Arch Linux (about three years now).
    Arch Linux is a great distribution with a great and helpful community.
    Thanks for support.

  • [SOLVED] Flashplugin Does Not Work With Firefox.

    Hi, all.
    Happy to have just installed Arch, after not using it for a while. It's looking as good as ever, but I can't get Flash to work.
    I installed Gnash and some things work, but not many. Wanting to be able to use a full Flash implementation, I installed the Flashplugin on my 32-bit box.
    When I go to the Adobe test page, I don't see any Flash. When I go to YouTube and similar, I just get a black 'box'. When I visit websites with Flash effects, these do not work and I am told I need a plugin.
    When I look at Firefox's 'about:plugins' page, Flash is associated with swf files, so that looks ok.
    Can anyone help me with this? If I can get it sorted, my main box may well be having an Arch install, today.
    Fingers crossed.
    Cheers,
    Chris.

    From the Arch wiki:
    "Troubleshooting
    If you have Abobe Flash installed on an older system and you start playing a video which simply turns black with nothing happeing, it is most likely that your CPU does not support ISSE2. You can simply check out this by looking at your CPU flags with this command:
    # cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep flags
    If sse2 is not mentioned there, then you need to install an older version of Flash (for example 10.3). "
    I only have SSE, not ISSE2, so I think that may be why. I have partial success with Gnash, so will stick with that for now. At least it's open source.
    Thanks for your help, all.
    Chris.

  • [SOLVED] netctl-auto not working, and I cannot remove netctl instance

    Hi, I installed Arch a few days ago, netctl-auto was working yesterday but today it's not.
    Note that
    netctl start
    works: I have a problem with netctl-auto only.
    $ ping -c 3 8.8.8.8
    connect: Network in unreachable
    I have created only one netctl profile so far, it's called wlp4s0-VM581389-2G (wlp4s0 is the name of my wireless interface)
    $ ls /etc/netctl
    examples hooks interfaces wlp4s0-VM581389-2G
    $ netctl list
    wlp4s0-VM581389-2G
    wpa_actiond is installed, and I have done
    systemctl enable [email protected]
    But for some reason I have some extra netctl@ instances that shouldn't be there. I am wondering if they could be the cause of netctl-auto not working properly:
    $ systemctl | grep netctl
    [email protected] loaded active running Automatic wireless network connection using netctl profiles
    ● netctl@my\x2dnetwork.service loaded failed failed Networking for netctl profile my-network
    ● netctl@wlp4s0\x2dVM581389\x2d2G.service loaded failed failed Networking for netctl profile wlp4s0-VM581389-2G
    system-netctl.slice loaded active active system-netctl.slice
    system-netctl\x2dauto.slice loaded active active system-netctl\x2dauto.slice
    - What are these bullet points at the beginning of these two lines?
    - Where do netctl@my\x2dnetwork.service and netctl@wlp4s0\x2dVM581389\x2d2G.service come from? They might be instances that I had enabled in the past.
    These instances are not enabled and they are inactive, but they are loaded!
    $ systemctl is-enabled netctl@my\x2dnetwork.service
    Failed to get unit file state for [email protected]: No such file or directory
    $ systemctl status netctl@my\x2dnetwork.service

    Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected]; static; vendor preset: disabled)
    Active: inactive (dead)
    Docs: man:netctl.profile(5)
    I have tried to get rid of them, but not managed:
    $ systemctl stop netctl@my\x2dnetwork.service
    $ systemctl disable netctl@my\x2dnetwork.service
    $ systemctl | grep netctl
    [email protected] loaded active running Automatic wireless network connection using netctl profiles
    netctl.service loaded active exited (Re)store the netctl profile state

    system-netctl.slice loaded active active system-netctl.slice
    system-netctl\x2dauto.slice loaded active active system-netctl\x2dauto.slice
    Also, I have tried to check with
    netctl-auto list
    , which gives an empty output. I am guessing that it's normal, because the netctl-auto instances are managed by systemd?
    Now, trying to understand what is happening to [email protected]: as seen before with systemctl | grep netctl, it is active and running.
    Then I do:
    $ journalctl -u [email protected]
    -- Reboot --

    wpa_actiond[310]: Starting wpa_actiond session for interface 'wlp4s0'
    So, a wpa_actiond session was started, but I still cannot ping 8.8.8.8. Why?
    Investigating further:
    $ netctl status wlp4s0-VM581389-2G
    ● netctl@wlp4s0\x2dVM581389\x2d2G.service - Networking for netctl profile wlp4s0-VM581389-2G

    "You may have another wpa_supplicant process already running or the file was left by an unclean termination of wpa_supplicant in which case you will need to manually remove this file before starting wpa_supplicant again."
    What does this mean? Which file might have been left by an unclean termination? I tried to find this info in the wpa_supplicant documentation, and by searching on Google, but couldn't find anything.
    Now I am lost:
    - how do I get rid of these two undesired netctl instances?
    - where can I investigate next, to get netctl-auto@wlp4s0 to work?
    Any help greatly appreciated :-)

    What is the output of:
    ls -l /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants
    netctl-auto cannot be used with explicitly enabled profiles (ie, those for which you have used `netctl enable <profile>`).
