[Bug 1293152] Re: fstrim-all weekly cron generate noise when hdparm isn't installed or on a VM; noisy in VMs

[Matthew L. Dailey]

I'm happy to do testing - we have several trusty installs on VMs that I
can use. Should I wait until this is in trusty-proposed, or just test
the package from utopic?

Title:
  fstrim-all weekly cron generate noise when hdparm isn't installed or
  on a VM; noisy in VMs

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “util-linux” source package in Trusty:
  In Progress
Status in “util-linux” source package in Utopic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Every week, the fstrim-all cron job sends such email alert to the
  admin if hdparm isn't available:

    hdparm not available, cannot TRIM

  The cron job doesn't fail, thanks to LP: #1278048, but those emails
  are probably not very useful to the admin.
