Thank you, it worked!
However, It seems that "discards" behavior for thin pool is not
supported on RHEL 6.4. Please confirm.
# ./configure --with-thin=internal --enable-debug
# make; make install
# lvcreate --discards passdown -L 1G -T thinvg1/thinlv1
Logical volume "thinlv1" created
# lvs -o +devices|grep -i thinlv1
thinlv1 thinvg1 twi-a-tz- 1.00g 0.00
thinlv1_tdata(0)
# dmesg
device-mapper: thin: Data device (dm-3) discard unsupported: Disabling
discard passdown.
It's your backend device used for thinpool data which doesn't support
discard. So it fallbacks to nopassdown behaviour (discard is processed only
at pool level).
I'm invoking these commands on a VM. I do not know, from where these
storage were mapped to my VM(were done my some storage admin). However
Important piece of puzzle - if you want to see TRIM command hits your storage,
your storage needs to support it ;)
BTW it's perfectly ok to use thin pool only with nopassdown.

NOTE: issue_discard in lvm.conf is not related in any way with --discards
option for thin pool creation.
