Last thing for these changes is whether or not to add fstrim and uuidd
bootscripts to the lfs bootscripts tarball for SysV book. The fstrim
bootscript is fairly obvious in its purpose, but I've no idea the real world
purpose for uuidd. For systemd, these are installed by the util-linux
package but not enabled.
For uuidd, no idea if a bootscript is sensible. But for fstrim,
after looking at the manpage, I can't see the point. I happen to
use 'discard' in fstab so I have no reason to use fstrim[¹], but the
manpage suggests that running it weekly per mountpoint will often be
sufficient.
So I assume that people who use fstrim, at least on sysv, put it in
a cron job.
1. I did forget to add it to fstab on one system, and had to run it
manually after I noticed that repeated runs of an SBU build were
getting slower and slower.
