From: Dmitry Monakhov on 11 Feb 2010 07:10 Currently there are many filesystems which has implemented discard support, but ssd discs not widely used yet. Let's allow user to use compat discard mode by default. After this feature is enabled by default for all devices which has no native discard support it will be possible to use this feature simply by passing appropriate mount option to fs (-odiscard in ext4) This default option has many advantages: - Hope that this helps in real filesystem testing. - People who are crazy about data security whould be really happy. - Virtual machine developers also would like this feature.
