I have /home in a separate partition and I noticed checking the systemd journal that fstrim ignored my /home. After research, I found the fstrim.service file has a ProtectHome=yes value, which prevents fstrim from trimming it.

Once I added an override to set up ProtectHome=no, fstrim now sees my /home and trims it in every run.

fstrim: fix systemd service protection
c64d452 
ProtectHome=yes makes /home inaccessible, but we need to open the
directories (mountpoints) read-only.

Oh, good point. Thanks!

I think ProtectHome=read-only should be good enough.
