DM-thinp processes discards internally before it passes them down (if configured to do so). If a discard is smaller than the granularity of a thinp block (whose size is configurable) or if the start and end of the discard's extent is misaligned (relative to the thinp blocks mapped to the logical extent) then the discard won't actually discard partial thinp blocks. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
