Comment (by weasel):

 since bungei has rotating disks, that script probably shouldn't run there
 anyhow.  Thus, the fact that fstrim -av doesn't do anything is not
 surprising.  (If bungei did have SSDs, the crypttab should have the
 discard option.)

 Regardless, we probably should replace that script with using the fstrim
 service and its timer shipped by util-linux -- /usr/share/doc/util-
 linux/examples/fstrim.{service,timer}.
