From d964b669c8d8675af1b7d7e1742ee8b68dc285ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lukas Czerner Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2012 17:49:15 -0400 Subject: blkdiscard: add new command blkdiscard is used to discard device sectors. This is useful for solid-state drivers (SSDs) and thinly-provisioned storage. Unlike fstrim this command is used directly on the block device. blkkdiscard uses BLKDISCARD ioctl or BLKSECDISCARD ioctl for the secure discard. All data in the discarded region on the device will be lost!
