Subject: [PATCH] dmsquash: Add rd.live.overlay.thin
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This option changes the underlying mechanism for the overlay in the
|
||
|
|
dmsquash module.
|
||
|
|
Instead of a plain dm snapshot a dm thin snapshot is used. The advantage
|
||
|
|
of the thin snapshot is, that the TRIM command is recognized, which
|
||
|
|
means that at runtime, only the occupied blocks will be claimed from
|
||
|
|
memory, and freed blocks will really be freed in ram.
