I've found fstrim - but that only seems to be for filesystems. How do I tell the card that the free space in the VG really is free?You probably can't. I've not heard of removable cards supporting the 'trim' command.
I found a issue_discards setting in lvm.conf. Set that, then created a LV using the remaining space and deleted it again. (this wasn't an sd card, was my main machine that I run in a raid-1 configuration) There's definitely something implemented on sd cards: fstrim works on an identical, working, card while it fails on my broken one.
