OS: Ubuntu Oneiric 64bit, fresh install, kernel 3.0.0.12.
SSD: Crucial M4 64GB
AHCI enabled in BIOS
/dev/sda2 (my / ) is an ext4 filesystem created without journal, mounted with noatime,discard options. /proc/mounts confirms:
ioscheduler is noop:
So: "discard TRIMMING" is not working - double checked this way: http://andyduffell.com/techblog/?p=852
However if I manually run:
(remember: /dev/sda2 is mounted on / )
in a few seconds I get my device trimmed, and then I can see my zeroes on it.
I know that years ago there was a problem with discard and no journal (patch required):

Am I the only one?
What's going on?
Thanks for any suggestions.
