But we're not translating it to anything; we're just passing it along. Certainly in my testing (Virtualbox-provided ada0, which doesn't TRIM, and md(4), which does) ufs and zfs seem to get the message just fine. If a poorly-behaved filesystem ignores the "I don't support that" message from our provider (SSD, hard drive, md(4), whatever), wouldn't it ignore us just the same? -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [email protected] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-geom To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
