Uhm, to the linux block layer (including DRBD), there is no difference
between what you call "online" or "offline" here.  And whether you call
it trim or discard or unmap, again, to the linux block layer, it is all
the same thing.  The differences are implementation details in the low
level hardware drivers (scsi, fusion, etc.)

Did you actually try it?
What happened?
Error message?
Logs?

Are you sure your SSD *and* MD properly support and propagate the
discard capabilities and requests?
