Guess it depends on how recent kernel your guest runs.
If you present it as a SCSI disk to the guest, then I have
successfully had Linux Mint 12 guests do UNMAP when accessing /dev/sd*
from within the guest.


If you present the device as a SCSI disk to the guest, you use a
recent 3.x linux kernel for the guest  and EXT4 as the filesystem
I guess it should work.


Dont know about status for IDE emulation.
