It actually does NOT allocate all of the free space,
but yes it does reserve *most* of it, leaving a few percent
or a few hundred MB free while it issues the DSM/TRIM commands.
And it uses the fallocate system call, so the reserved space
is not actually written to when reserved, nor when later freed.
I expect the next version of it to include support for FSTRIM,
but that is a much slower method, especially for offline TRIM.
Cheers
