Re: strange usage stats for thin LV

[Andres Toomsalu <andres@active.ee>]

Im trying with latest 2.6.32-279.11.1.el6 RHEL6.3 kernel but still no luck - FITRIM ioctl failed: Operation not supported.

Is there any way to discard/trim unused blocks with RHEL6.3?

What happens if no cleanup is done and blocks count reaches 100%? 

Regards,

This test server (CentOS 6.3 - not install from scratch). I was updated this server from 6.2 version:

wtmp begins Mon Jan 23 16:03:26 2012

I test only ext4 fs partitions.

When I used fstrim I had next error:

fstrim /mnt/test1

fstrim: /mnt/test1: FITRIM ioctl failed: Operation not supported

I want retrieve free space from the ext4 fs to the total free space of thin_pool after delete files on the ext4 fs  (lv_test1).I will have more free space for another thin LV.

Is it possible to get it?

Thanks in advance.
