Some disk backends support
discard
feature to release unused blocks on underlying storage.It will take a long time to discard blocks when using
mkfs
to format, if large "rawfile" is created on these storages.This patch adds
-E nodiscard / -K
parameter tomkfs.xxx
to accelerate "rawfile" formatting phase.
