Do snapshots behave the same way as thin volumes wrt discards?

        So can thin volumes support discards independently of the device
        underneath them?

        I expected fstrim to free space in the thin pool.


    Yes - you are expecting it correctly.

    Ignore is mostly usable in case you do not want to free already
    provisioned space - which might be in certain cases better for performance.

    But you need to use recent enough kernels and lvm2 tools - since discards
    support required kernel updates.


Kernel: 3.10.1-gento
LVM2:  2.02.97

Are these versions recent enough?

Nope - 2.02.98 has fixes for discards - it's been just introduced in 2.02.97 and had some problems - possible those you can observe.
