+ <ul class="incremental">
+ <li>
+ Flash devices (and thin-provisioned SANs) can be more efficient
+ if the filesystem 'discards' unused disk space
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Requires support in hardware, driver, filesystem and any layered
+ device drivers - e.g. LVM, RAID (added in 3.7)

+ Must be explicitly enabled, but d-i doesn't do this by default

+ <li>
+ One of the last missing pieces for OpenVZ-like containers

+ <li>
+ Each user namespace has its own <tt>root</tt> user with
+ privileges over the users and processes in that namespace - but
+ not the whole system

+ Currently somewhat experimental, and requires filesystem

+ Make it work: send patches to upstream XFS developers (this
+ one's hard)
