[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1523246] Re: Cannot TRIM with VirtIO

[Коренберг Марк]

Virtio will never support discard requests. Please use virtio-scsi.

So, please rename bug to "Feature request: Refuse to operate if virtio +
discard is requested"

Title:
  Cannot TRIM with VirtIO

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  When model=virtio is used, TRIM is not supported.

  # mount -o discard /dev/vda4 /mnt
  # mount | tail -1
  /dev/vda4 on /mnt type fuseblk 
(rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096)
  # fstrim /mnt/
  fstrim: /mnt/: the discard operation is not supported

  Booting without model=virtio allows using TRIM (in Windows as well).

  Full QEMU line:

  qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu host -bios
  /usr/share/ovmf/ovmf_x64.bin -smp 2 -m 7G -vga qxl -usbdevice tablet
  -net nic,model=virtio -net user -drive discard=unmap,detect-
  zeroes=unmap,cache=none,file=vms/win10.hd.img.vmdk,format=vmdk,if=virtio
