FAQ
Q
What is Discard unused blocks?
A
Batch discard operations are run explicitly by the user with the fstrim command. This command discards all unused blocks in a file system that match the user's criteria. Both operation types are supported for use with ext4 file systems as of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 and later so long as the block device underlying the file system supports physical discard operations. This is also the case with XFS file systems as of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 and later. Physical discard operations are supported if the value of /sys/block/device/queue/discard_max_bytes is not zero.
