If you are using XFS - there is mount option "discard|nodiscard" From XFS man page: discard|nodiscard Enable/disable the issuing of commands to let the block device reclaim space freed by the filesystem. This is useful for SSD devices, thinly provisioned LUNs and virtual machine images, but may have a performance impact. Note: It is currently

You're right, there's a procedure following it, once the space is zeroed qemu-img will recognize it as such and will eliminate it when 'convert' is used. Apparently Fedora qemu has some better capabilities to shrink partitions but they haven't made it to "long term support" distributions yet. For now, what has to be done to shrink qcow[2] partitions (raw works) is

I realize this is wandering off-topic but, if you have found Debian commands, you're doing better than me. What are they? Also, are you allowing dd to totally fill the partition (what I have found on the web as a recommendation)?

As has already been mentioned, some commands (or command options) are only supported on later releases, the man pages don't say this. Does anyone know of a source of information listing the command, option and version it is implemented in? That alone would be a great help. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Adams" <linux at cmadams.net> To: "centos"

Dear all, I?m testing a server and try to simulate a server in production. We have a SSL certificate and I have configured the test server with the same servername as it is in production. To access it, I change the hosts file in my laptop to reach the test server. However, the Java application running in the server tries to access some local web content. I have changed the hosts file

In addition to the OP?s qemu case, zeroing the free space can also be valuable when building

Hi Leroy, How I can confirm that during rsync transfer corruption are not encountered? Thank you in advance.

I have had a single situation where corruption occurred during transfer (a few times, have no idea why),

Linux bind mounts can mount a file over another file (plus there's overlay filesystems), so it's possible to replace a binary even on a read-only device. -- Chris Adams <linux at cmadams.net>

Thanks for letting me know I'm not making myself clear, let me try again with a few more specifics, These are Windows VMs with three disk images for C:, D: and L:. To simplify I'll focus on the image for C: which had grown to 77G physical size on the hypervisor's ssd (I just double-checked that with 'ls -al' because qemu-img below says 70G, this image had two snapshots at one

Since you state that using -z is almost always a bad idea, could you provide the rationale for that?

I need to connect an older APS UPS unit to a machine running CentOS 7. Unfortunately the UPS only has a serial port whereas the computer does not. I am aware that there are USB-serial adapters but that the hardware or the drivers might fall short of expectations. Does anyone have positive experience with such an adapter? Or, conversely, would recommend avoid a particular adapter?
