Title: qemu-nbd fails to discard bigger chunks Status in nbd: New Bug description: This report is moved from systemd to here: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/16242 A qemu-nbd device reports that it can discard a lot of bytes: cat /sys/block/nbd0/queue/discard_max_bytes 2199023255040 And indeed, discard works with small images: $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/image.img 2M $ sudo qemu-nbd --connect=/dev/nbd0 /tmp/image.img $ sudo blkdiscard /dev/nbd0 but not for bigger ones (still smaller than discard_max_bytes): $ qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/image.img 5G $ sudo qemu-nbd --connect=/dev/nbd0 /tmp/image.img $ sudo blkdiscard /dev/nbd0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nbd/+bug/1884831/+subscriptions
