SubjectRe: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 3/3] xen/blk[front|back]: Enhance discard support with secure erasing support.
From
I think we also should mark the vbd has discard_secure if we are
usingthe file backend,as if we punch a hole in the image, those blocks
are freed tofilesystem and hardly to getthem back, or maybe write
zeros to the range before we punch the hole is better?
