Sometimes, i see some like 'fstrim on work partition" when booting easy OS.How do i config it?is there a tool to do that?
And,easy os needs a sfs loader ON THE FLY.

If a message about fstrim is displayed at bootup, that means fstrim is happening. Can't recall exactly, think set to run every 25 bootups.

sfs loading on the fly is not supported, as a lot of sfs checking/fixing happens at bootup. Also, Easy is designed to support overlayfs as well as aufs, and the former does not support loading sfs's on the fly. Overlayfs is the official one in the kernel, aufs is a patch, and the aufs developer has shown signs of getting tired maintaining it.

can i manually control ths fstrim?

Yes.
In the boot-partition, click on the 'initrd' file, there will be an offer to open it up.

You will then see /root/initrd-expanded in ROX-Filer, open the 'init' script in Geany and search for "fstrim".

If you make any changes, click on the 'initrd' file to update it, then reboot.
