VSA does not release storage on thin provisoned backup repo using trim

Post by Spex »

As part of a support ticket (case # 08231420), we discovered that VSA does not support thin provisioning.
The problem is that neither fstrim nor fstab with the discard option are used.

Since the size of a repository volume cannot currently be changed, a generous initial size must be chosen.
This is particularly problematic when SOBR is not the optimal solution.

Therefore, please consider this minor change in the next release.

Hi Stefan,

Noted on the request, will discuss it internally. I cannot promise that it will be in the next release, but use case is understood and will consider it.
