Description Raymond Jennings 2013-11-29 09:34:34 UTC

I tried to follow some online advice that says to use blkdiscard to issue discard requests to a block device...but strangely the util-linux package it said to check does not include this utility.

I checked upstream and it's in the /util-linux-2.24/sys-utils/ folder, so for some reason it's not being built.

Reproducible: Always

blkdiscard(8) was added in 2.23.
