Hello all.
When you use oVirt with a Block Storage the only option available to store de VMs is LVM.
Does LVM in oVirt use Thinprovisoned (supported in LVM2) instead of having to use the SAN Thinprovisioned features ?
No, we use regular lvs. thin pool are not supported in a cluster. Using thin provisioned LUN for ovirt storage domain is the best option (supported since 4.0). We discard removed lvs, so you get back the storage on the storage server and can use it for other thin provisioned LUNs. Nir
