Question #: 34
Topic #: 3

Users are reporting that writes on a system configured with SSD drives have been taking longer than expected, but reads do not seem to be affected. A Linux systems administrator is investigating this issue and working on a solution. Which of the following should the administrator do to help solve the issue?

ARun the corresponding command to trim the SSD drives.

BUse fsck on the filesystem hosted on the SSD drives.

CMigrate to high-density SSD drives for increased performance.

DReduce the amount of files on the SSD drives.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

TRIM is a feature that allows the operating system to inform the SSD which blocks of data are no longer in use and can be wiped internally.This helps to maintain the SSD's performance and endurance by preventing unnecessary write operations and reducing write amplification12.Running the corresponding command to trim the SSD drives, such asfstrimorblkdiscardon Linux, can help to solve the issue of slow writes by freeing up space and optimizing the SSD's internal garbage collection34.

Option A is definitely the way to go. Trimming those SSDs is like giving them a good old-fashioned spa day. They'll be writing like a champ in no time!

I agree, A is the correct answer. Keeping those SSDs trimmed is crucial for optimal performance. You don't want your writes to be as slow as a herd of turtles, do you?
