QEMU introduced "discard" option for drive since commit a9384aff53, <...> @var{discard} is one of "ignore" (or "off") or "unmap" (or "on") and controls whether @dfn{discard} (also known as @dfn{trim} or @dfn{unmap}) requests are ignored or passed to the filesystem. Some machine types may not support discard requests. </...> This patch exposes the support in libvirt. QEMU supported "discard" for "-drive" since v1.5.0-rc0: % git tag --contains a9384aff53 contains v1.5.0-rc0 v1.5.0-rc1 So this only detects the capability bit using virQEMUCapsProbeQMPCommandLine.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
