Deleting or removing files frees space within the file system. This free space is mapped to a storage device until the file system releases or unmaps it. vSAN supports reclamation of free space, which is also called the unmap operation.
vSAN also supports the SCSI UNMAP commands issued directly from a guest operating system to reclaim storage space. vSAN supports offline unmaps and inline unmaps. On Linux OS, offline unmaps are performed with the fstrim(8) command, and inline unmaps are performed when the mount -o discard command is used.
