To avoid the first time trim operation. Every boot time. run the fitrim then it trims all block groups again. but it's already done at previous time. so don't need to trim it again. Doesn't make sense? I think it's not designed behavior. In your patch at http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/102918/ with the patch: [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m5.625s user 0m0.000s sys 0m1.269s [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m0.002s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.001s [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m0.002s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.001s After reboot. it maybe become below [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m0.002s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.001s [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m0.002s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.001s [root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a real 0m0.002s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.001s Thank you, Kyungmin Park > > Thanks > Tao >> >> Signed-off-by: Kyungmin Park >> --- >> diff --git a/fs/ext4/mballoc.c b/fs/ext4/mballoc.c >> index e2d8be8..97ef342 100644 >> --- a/fs/ext4/mballoc.c >> +++ b/fs/ext4/mballoc.c >> @@ -1098,6 +1098,12 @@ int ext4_mb_init_group(struct super_block *sb, >> ext4_group_t group) >> goto err; >> } >> mark_page_accessed(page); >> + >> + /* >> + * TRIM information is not stored at disk so set the initial >> + * state as trimmed.
