At the moment I can't get this to work.  The script I'm using is:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
set -e
set -x
trace-cmd record -e all -o /tmp/trace &
pid=$!
fstrim /sysroot
kill $pid; sleep 2
trace-cmd report -i /tmp/trace
----------------------------------------------------------------------

However the last trace-cmd gives an error:

trace-cmd: No such file or directory
  opening '/tmp/trace'

I'll try again tomorrow morning.

Rich.
