As I had a Lifebook S751 with Toshiba SSD it didn't work with Ext4 boot=20
device without LVM and with BTRFS on LVM. But nice idea that it might be=20

Ext4 as of kernel 2.6.38 would support fstrim too. Well there has been a=20
different error message for the Ext4 case that I do not remember anymore.
