Hello Goswin, > I could imagine a device mapper target that eats TRIM commands and > writes out zeroes instead.

However what I'm really looking for is an option that gets upstream and will be incorperated in major distributions so that this option is available on every Linux distribution shipping in two years. However if this won't be the case I'm going to consider writing a device mapper target.
