That would be sufficient for me - I can enforce this with a udev rule.
However what you propose does not currently work:
root@Ahasver:~# cat /sys/block/sda/queue/discard_max_bytes
2147450880
root@Ahasver:~# echo 0 > /sys/block/sda/queue/discard_max_bytes
-bash: /sys/block/sda/queue/discard_max_bytes: Permission denied
root@Ahasver:~# uname -a
Linux Ahasver 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u4
(2016-02-29) x86_64 GNU/Linux
root@Ahasver:~# dpkg -l linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64 | grep ii
ii linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u4 amd64 Linux
3.16 for 64-bit PCs
What am I missing?
