I don't recall Spelic saying anything about EOPNOTSUPP. So what has
made you zero in on an -EOPNOTSUPP return (which should not be
happening)?
Exactly: I do not know if EOPNOTSUPP is being returned or not.
If this helps, I have configured dm-thin via lvm2
LVM version: 2.02.95(2) (2012-03-06)
Library version: 1.02.74 (2012-03-06)
Driver version: 4.22.0
from dmsetup table I only see one option : "skip_block_zeroing", if and
only if I configure it with -Zn . I do not see anything regarding
ignore_discard
vg1-pooltry1-tpool: 0 20971520 thin-pool 252:1 252:2 2048 0 1
skip_block_zeroing
vg1-pooltry1_tdata: 0 20971520 linear 9:20 62922752
vg1-pooltry1_tmeta: 0 8192 linear 9:20 83894272
vg1-thinlv1: 0 31457280 thin 252:3 1
and in dmesg:
[ 33.685200] device-mapper: thin: Discard unsupported by data device
(dm-2): Disabling discard passdown.
[ 33.709586] device-mapper: thin: Discard unsupported by data device
(dm-6): Disabling discard passdown.
I do not know what is the mechanism for which xfs cannot unmap blocks
from dm-thin, but it really can't.
If anyone has dm-thin installed he can try. This is 100% reproducible
for me.
