Running 'blkdiscard' with different SD cards on H3ULCB, I don't see any signs of misbehavior: root@rcar-gen3:~# blkdiscard -V blkdiscard from util-linux 2.32.1 root@rcar-gen3:~# lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT mmcblk0 179:0 0 59.2G 0 disk mmcblk0boot0 179:8 0 4M 1 disk mmcblk0boot1 179:16 0 4M 1 disk mmcblk1 179:24 0 30G 0 disk # Erasing 32 GiB uSD Card root@rcar-gen3:~# time blkdiscard -v /dev/mmcblk1 /dev/mmcblk1: Discarded 32227983360 bytes from the offset 0 real 0m1.198s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.122s # Erasing 64 GiB eMMC root@rcar-gen3:~# time blkdiscard -v /dev/mmcblk0 /dev/mmcblk0: Discarded 63585648640 bytes from the offset 0 real 0m8.703s user 0m0.002s sys 0m1.909s I guess that by decreasing below erase sizes, I could further increase the execution time, but these sysfs properties are read-only: cat /sys/devices/platform/soc/ee100000.sd/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:59b4/preferred_erase_size 4194304 cat /sys/devices/platform/soc/ee100000.sd/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:59b4/erase_size 512 -- Best Regards, Eugeniu
