Yes, but for NetApp: maybe. With this whole deduplication thingy, I
wonder if even such a simple assumption is true. And then some people
make a snapshot every hour, whichmeans your log will wander around on
the storage anyway. So it's best to "just use it".
Another thing just crosses my mind: on a thin provisioned system, would
the TRIM command be useful? Do such storages recognise this command? It
would be very clever, I think. Let's say you run xfs_fsr, that would
allow the upper layer to relaim unused space. Would that be the storage
or XenServer/VMware which needs to understand this command?
