Thanks, this one looks ok to me.
The real question for me is, will the previous one (21/23)
return != 0 (some EOPNOTSUPP or else) to DRBD in more situations than
what we have now? Will it make an fstrim cause thinly provisioned
devices to suddenly be fully allocated?
Or does it unmap "the same" as what we have now?
Especially on top of dm-thin, but also on top of any other device.
That's something that is not really "obvious" to me yet.
Cheers,
Lars
