In my experience the filesystem options menu doesn't work at all, i.e. the options select there are just ignored also when selecting them just once and not re-entering that menu. I've tried to create a filesystem with SUJ disabled and TRIM enabled twice now, last time with BETA2 on amd64, and I always end up with a filesystem that has SUJ enabled but TRIM disabled. Marius
