Re: [ovirt-users] Reclaim disk space of thin disks

Hi, @1. Did you use the hook? yes, without the hook fstrim would not start, @2. Where did you see it's the same size? Should be looked at from the storage side (assuming, btw, it supports discard!) I looked at the “actual Size” under Storage

I don’t know how ovirt handles FC storage and if this will allow discard.

Yes, if the underlying file system supports it (NFS, for example, might need to be 4.2 and above). Or can it be done by making a snapshot and clone the VM to a new one? Another suggestion: use the VDSM hooks for discard ('diskunmap') and run 'fstrim' from within the guest. Y.
