fstrim: /: the discard operation is not supported

Hello!

I just bought a WD Blue 3D 500GB SSD to my PC, and tried to make a fstrim (sudo fstrim -v /). Error message was sent: fstrim: /: the discard operation is not supported. I think it is because the LVM + LUKS. Could someone suggest me how could i trim my SSD? I’ve read these:

  1. let issue_discards set to 1 in /etc/lvm.conf
  2. let a discard option write into the /etc/crypttab.
  3. update initramfs.

Are these steps corrects, or i shoul make something else? I checked /etc/crypttab, but it is not clear that should insert the discard option to the end of the line?

Thanks any help you can provide!
