Do you actually support UNMAP to DSM TRIM SCSI-ATA translation? One challenge in that department is that a single UNMAP command may turn into many, many, many DSM TRIM commands on the underlying SATA device. That's why we went with WRITE SAME for the internal Linux SATL, capping the maximum number of blocks to what we can fit in a single DSM TRIM command. -- Martin K.
