I think that, if anything, it would be worse: a long discard during boot
can be problematic, even leading to timeout on starting other services.
After all, blkdiscard should be faster then something done at higher
level.
That said, I seem to remember that deleting a fat volume should
automatically trim/discard it if issue_discard=1. Is this not true for
thin volumes?
Regards.
