Subject: [PATCH 02/14] dm-thin: remove some documentation for the unimplemented 'trim' target message
Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:22:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1331911358-8848-2-git-send-email-ejt@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1331911358-8848-1-git-send-email-ejt@redhat.com>

I'd planned a 'trim' target message for shrinking thin devices, but
this is better handled via the discard ioctl.
