    Subject[PATCH v3 0/1] Zeroout/discard devices instead of initial full sync
    Date
    Patch set is based on drbd-8.4 3ae8af0b, may confilct with
    branch rs-discard-granularity of new feature flag, have
    already compiled/tested against SLES12.

    Changes compare to v2:
    1. two options for new-current-uuid --zeroout-devices and --discard-devices.
    2. Create a new feature flag FF_DISCARD.
    3. Mark optional for zeroout-devices and discard-devices.
    4. Merge patch set into one patch.

    Full sync for drbd initial usually take a long time, especically
    when network become the bottleneck of the syncing. Simply skip
    the full sync with "--clear-bitmap" may not the perfect solution
    for all the cases, like using the bare device(no filesystem) to
    work,etc database,vm... This patche set can be used to zero out
    devices locally instead of a full sync to make the consistent
    block device. This approach can be useful when lack of network
    bandwidth to sync.

    The patches add one new option "--zap-devices" to "new-current-uuid"
    to zero out devices. It will start zeroing out devices of both
    side.
