I had a Fedora 34 machine with a regular 1TB hard disk.
Imaged it to a 1TB SDD disk and then removed regular
disk.
Did a reinstall of the kernel files, since wasn't sure if
perhaps something would be modified.
Just wondering if there are any other things that might
take full advantage of the new disk..

Assuming you started with Fedora 34 you should be on BTRFS. I would just
make sure btrfs-trim.timer is enabled to periodically do trimming of unused
blocks.
The other btrfs services (defrag, balance, scrub) are generally only needed
if you're running some kind of btrfs array.
Maybe it wouldn't hurt to check /etc/fstab and see if compression is
enabled. It trades some CPU cycles for space savings which can extend the
life of SSD (less blocks written) and improves I/O on spinning disks (less
blocks to read/write).

Just check first, it may already be enabled. Level 1 is recommended for
SSDs and level 3 for spinning disks.
Thanks,
Richard

Should it not bee fstrim.timer? It does exactly same on my system as you
describe.
My system is Fedora 35 with BTRFS filesystm on 2 Tbyte SDD and running
fstrim.timer bu not btrfs-trim.timer.

Richard

I used fstrim.timer before, I'm pretty sure they do the same thing...

Thanks...
Been using Linux since Redhat version 9, and Fedora
Core 1 thru 34 and 35 on machines. Had Unixware before
that.
Use standard partition setup.
Will have to look at info on fstrim?
On my notebook with SSD drive
fstrim -v -A
/DATA: 22.4 GiB (24029523968 bytes) trimmed on /dev/sda9
/home: 436.6 GiB (468820439040 bytes) trimmed on /dev/sda8
/boot: 651.2 MiB (682827776 bytes) trimmed on /dev/sda5
/: 17.7 GiB (18981560320 bytes) trimmed on /dev/sda7
Had SSD in this one for a while. Recall something on
fstrim??
New machine showed this.
fstrim -v -A
/home: 741.1 GiB (795723341824 bytes) trimmed on /dev/sda5
/boot: 612.2 MiB (641925120 bytes) trimmed on /dev/sda1
/: 37.4 GiB (40122470400 bytes) trimmed on /dev/sda3

Haven't used BTRFS on a system yet.
Is there a service or what to run the fstrim?
Tried it on two other machines that still have regular
disks, and command shows no output, so guess it doesn't
apply to regular disks?
Thanks again for the quick response.
More stuff to look into.
