trim support on 2.6.37

trim support on 2.6.37

[Jens Kasten]

Hi list,

It is the first time the i write to this list.
I am not sure if it the right place.

I use the kernel 2.6.37 with cryptsetup and lvm on a intel ssd. 
In the logfile after booting i see this entry:
EXT4-fs (dm-1): re-mounted. Opts: discard,errors=remount-ro
EXT4-fs (sda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: discard
EXT4-fs (dm-3): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: discard
EXT4-fs (dm-2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: discard
EXT4-fs warning (device dm-1): ext4_issue_discard:2619: discard not
supported, disabling
EXT4-fs warning (device dm-3): ext4_issue_discard:2619: discard not
supported, disabling
EXT4-fs warning (device dm-3): ext4_issue_discard:2619: discard not
supported, disabling
EXT4-fs warning (device dm-3): ext4_issue_discard:2619: discard not
supported, disabling
EXT4-fs (sda1): re-mounted. Opts: discard,commit=0
EXT4-fs (dm-3): re-mounted. Opts: discard,commit=0
EXT4-fs (dm-2): re-mounted. Opts: discard,commit=0

The mount command shows:
/dev/mapper/System2-root_ssd on / type ext2
(rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,barrier=1,stripe=32,data=ordered,discard)
and the corresponding entry from fstab:
UUID="635a1ad9-9ebb-4d1e-b8c3-30e11148bd92"	/		    ext4
noatime,discard,errors=remount-ro		0	1

My question is now, I don't have trim support now?

Viele Grüsse
Jens Kasten

Jens,

I don't believe DM supports discard / trim passthru.  For
clarification, you should ask on the Device Mapper list.
<dm-devel@redhat.com>

Alternatively, you may find that the wiper.sh script packaged with
hdparm may work.  wiper.sh bypasses the DM layer and talks directly to
the drives, but it too has limitations.  The wiper.sh script is meant
to be called on a routine basis via cron, etc.
