A timestamp file "/var/lib/mcron/fstrim.stamp" is used to ensure we will
catch up on missed job runs when the system was powered down.

* gnu/services/mcron.scm (%mcron-activation): New extension to create
'/var/lib/mcron'.
* gnu/services/admin.scm (fstrim-configuration): New record type.
(fstrim-mcron-jobs): New procedure.
(fstrim-service-type): New service type.

Please add documentation in doc/guix.texi. :-)

That seems a little bit complicated, no? That’s because you want to
make sure it runs immediately at boot if it never ran before, right? Is
that important?

“file systems”, two words. Perhaps add a few more words mentioning the
fstrim package?

I’m not sure the fstrim timestamp should leave in a directory that looks
as if it was “owned” by mcron.

Could you send an updated patch?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Hi 宋文武,

I didn't notice this patch and ended up reimplementing another fstrim-service-type at [1].
Where we differ in the implementations:
* I didn't attempt to implement anacron capabilities, since I made the scheduling configurable.
* Uses define-configuration which can embed documentation and generate it for the manual.
* Slightly more “guix-y” style of configuration.




Apologies for the duplicated effort!


Cheers,
Bruno

I've installed the change, with the following mostly cosmetic adjustments:

Yes, that's indeed better, thank you!

I had forgot my patch...
