But there are some changes in the pipeline to support descriptors with bigger ranges so that will change. However, we currently do 4GB discards on SCSI so the proposed cap will cut that in half. I'm OK with that as an interim solution. though. But I'm a bit concerned about what might be lurking in dm thinp if you trip over partial blocks like in Ming's example... -- Martin K.
