Subject: [PATCH] dmsquash: Add rd.live.overlay.thin
64b87c
64b87c
This option changes the underlying mechanism for the overlay in the
64b87c
dmsquash module.
64b87c
Instead of a plain dm snapshot a dm thin snapshot is used. The advantage
64b87c
of the thin snapshot is, that the TRIM command is recognized, which
64b87c
means that at runtime, only the occupied blocks will be claimed from
64b87c
memory, and freed blocks will really be freed in ram.

+The advantage of thin snapshots is, that they support discards, and will free

64b87c
