Hi,

I have the problem with fstrim (thin provisioning).

This test server (CentOS 6.3 - not install from scratch). I was updated
this server from 6.2 version:

last | tail -3
reboot   system boot  2.6.32-220.el6.x Mon Jan 23 16:03 - 16:04  (00:01)
wtmp begins Mon Jan 23 16:03:26 2012


I test only ext4 fs partitions.
When I used fstrim I had next error:

fstrim /mnt/test1
fstrim: /mnt/test1: FITRIM ioctl failed: Operation not supported

I want retrieve free space from the ext4 fs to the total free space of
thin_pool after delete files on the ext4 fs  (lv_test1).I will have more
free space for another thin LV.
Is it possible to get it?

Thanks in advance.
