Subject: [PATCH 34/46] mke2fs: only try discarding a single block to test if
|
|
discard works
|
|
Content-Type: text/plain
|
|
|
|
Commit d2bfdc7ff15c ("Use punch hole as "discard" on regular files")
|
|
added a test to see if the storage device actually supports discard.
|
|
The intent was to try discarding the first block but since
|
|
io_channel_discard() interprets the offset and count arguments in
|
|
blocks, and not bytes, mke2fs was actually discarding the first 16
|
|
megabytes (when the block size is 4k). This is normally not a
|
|
problem, since most file systems are larger than that, and requests to
|
|
discard beyond the end of the block device are ignored.
|
|
|
|
However, when creating a small file system as part of a image
|
|
containing multiple partitions, the initial test discard can end up
|
|
discarding data beyond the file system being created.
