Unfortunately there is no real difference while discarding. Presumably the drive is choking on the read requests alone? (As mentioned in other mail I contacted Seagate about this, it should be fixed in drive firmware.) Still, the patch itself seems good and does avoid unnecessary writes, so it seems like a good thing to be merged in my opinion. Thanks, -- Melvin Vermeeren Systems engineer
