Subject: [PATCH] gfs2_grow: Optionally allow not issuing discard requests
Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2025 15:21:49 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250219152149.350838-1-mark.syms@cloud.com> (raw)

mkfs.gfs2 supports a -K option which disables issuing discard requests
for unused blocks on the LUN. gfs2_grow does not have an equivalent
option so even if the filesystem was originally created with the -K
option a subsequent grow operation will incur the, potentially high,
cost of performing the discard.
