I have 3TB as the main active storage on my workstation, across two SSD’s, now I know that defraging and SSD has no point, in fact just adds additional wear and tear. I was wondering should I be doing any maintenance to my file systems /root /home /.snapshot, on the SSD’s. they have been working for three years now with no problems or errors but just wondered what others thought

    Set up fstrim to run once a week or so and scrub your disks periodically. It will not fix any errors unless you have a RAID but it will still tell you if there are any corrupted blocks. If you delete large blocks of data you might want to rebalance every now and then. You really shouldn’t need to do maintenance on a filesystem.
