I'm wondering the same thing.

Without knowing the details of fstrim I think with proper locking in place, filesystem corruption should never occur. However if one node in OCFS allocated the block that another node trims (the non-locking case), you will loose that newly allocated block. I wonder whether fstrim can be used in cluster filesystems.
