Did you use `mcron-service' around `mcron-service-type'?

`mcron-service' takes a list of jobs as argument, not an mcron-configuration.

From the manual:


--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
 -- Scheme Procedure : mcron-service JOBS [#:mcron MCRON]
     Return an mcron service running MCRON that schedules JOBS, a list
     of gexps denoting mcron job specifications.

     This is a shorthand for:
          (service mcron-service-type
                   (mcron-configuration (mcron mcron) (jobs jobs)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So for you needs you'd need something like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(services (cons*
  (mcron-service (list fstrim-job))
  ...)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Hope that helps! :)
