Right now in 19.10, /lib/systemd/system/fstrim.service runs /sbin/fstrim --fstab --verbose --quiet , which doesn't cause the service to report these errors. According to the fstrim man page, for the --fstab option: "Errors from filesystems that do not support the discard operation, read-only devices and read-only filesystems are silently ignored."
So, I consider this fixed now.

Lines from fstab: UUID=censored /media/SSD_Data ntfs-3g rw,noatime,nofail,big_writes,windows_names,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,hide_hid_files,inherit,noexec 0 0 UUID=censored /media/Win7 ntfs-3g ro,nofail,big_writes,windows_names,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,noexec,hide_hid_files 0 0 If I do sudo umount /media/Win7 and then sudo mount -o rw /media/Win7 then sudo fstrim -av takes longer and succeeds for all filesystems. So, it seems the read only is the problem. This seems cosmetic, but it causes periodic runs of fstrim via systemd to report failures.
