How many times must I reiterate that this is not true?
Due to various limitations in the way the block layer works we can not
clear LBA 10 to 20 and LBA 40 to 50 in one command. We don't have an
infrastructure in place that allows us to operate on several discrete
areas in one request.
But for contiguous areas we will cram as many ranges entries in as we
can fit in the TRIM payload. This means we'll issue one TRIM command for
every 2 GiB minus change (65535*64*512 / 1048576 = 2047 MiB).
Once, will do, thanks.
That's the first time I've read it here with sufficient explanation.
You have my apologies if you've attempted it earlier.
Thanks!
