Package: lvm2 Version: 2.02.95-7 Severity: wishlist Hi.
According to several recipes on how to set up Linux on a SSD disk, LVM need to be reconfigured to issue discard (aka TRIM) instructions to the underlying storage device. This is done by modifying /etc/lvm/lvm.conf and setting issue_discards = 1 in the devices section. Why not set the option automatically when the underlying device is not rotational? In my case, the LVM physical device is /dev/dm-0 (encrypted device), and /sys/block/dm-0/queue/rotational return 0. If LVM used the rotational value to decide to set the issue_discard option, there would be no need for manual configuration with LVM and SSD disks. Is there some reason this isn't done already, except lack of time to implement it? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
