I evaluate deploying ovirt 4.2 on centos 7.5 with VDO dedup in production.
When deploying gluster with cockpit, after selecting deduplication/compression, the option
to have the brick thin provisioned is grayed out.
As a result, gluster snapshots are not possible. :
- Neither in CLI : "snapshot create: failed: Snapshot is supported only for thin
provisioned LV. Ensure that all bricks of data are thinly provisioned LV.
"
- Nor through the scheduler in volume management : I see the icon "Volume snapshots
are scheduled" but I do not see any being created. There are no snapshot creation
failure message in the manager.
So I have two questions :
- At deployment, is changing the gdeploy option manually from thick to thin supported for
a LV on VDO device(or even a good idea)?
- Should I open a bug report?
