[PATCH 1/2] dm-raid: add RAID discard support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Heinz Mauelshagen <heinzm@xxxxxxxxxx>

Support discard in all RAID levels 1,10,4,5 and 6.

In case of RAID levels 4,5 and 6 we have to check for the capability
to zero data on discards to avoid stripe data corruption.

If that capabilizy is missing on any disk in a RAID set,
we have to disable discards.
