Hello again, I have composed a set of patches to add batched discard support for Ext3 file system. Functionality is basically the same as in "batched discard support for Ext4" (see http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ext4/msg19827.html ). There are two patches: [PATCH 1/2] Add discard/nodiscard mount option for ext3 fs/ext3/super.c | 14 +++++++++++++- include/linux/ext3_fs.h | 1 + 2 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) [PATCH 2/2] Add batched discard support for ext3 fs/ext3/balloc.c | 145 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ fs/ext3/super.c | 1 + include/linux/ext3_fs.h | 1 + 3 files changed, 147 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) The first one adds mount option to specify whether or not the discard should be performed (default is nodiscard), and the second one adds discard support itself. Note that you will need one more patch for this to work "Add ioctl FITRIM" see (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ext4/msg19828.html) which adds ioctl to issue discard itself.
