Re: [dm-crypt] Testing TRIM with hdparm on dm-crypt

[Alexander Koch <mail@alexanderkoch.net>]

Hi Milan,

thanks for your detailed explanations :)

After adding the offsets for LUKS and LVM I realized that I have another 
partition residing logically "in front" of the PV:

$ lsblk /dev/sdd -f
NAME                    FSTYPE      LABEL      MOUNTPOINT
sdd
├─sdd1                  ext2        boot       /boot
└─sdd2                  LVM2_member
   ├─m4vg0-root (dm-0)   crypto_LUKS
   │ └─root-crypt (dm-4) ext4        root-crypt /
(..)

Adding its size in blocks finally resulted in the correct range, and I 
saw the random noise of the encrypted testfile disappear after synced 
`rm` invocation.

I tried blktrace but didn't know which event to track. Supported list 
includes READ, WRITE, BARRIER, SYNC, QUEUE, REQUEUE, ISSUE, COMPLETE, FS 
and PC.


Thanks again for your help! :)
