I can confirm that it is true with an encrypted ext4 partition. I get
the same error, "fstrim: /mnt/test: the discard operation is not
supported" when I try it there on the same device. Unless there is a
good reason for it, not having discard on LUKS encrypted partitions
seems like a pretty serious omission. Perhaps it is intentional.
