[ovirt-users] Re: oVirt behavior with thin provision/deduplicated block storage

I'm not really concerned about the reporting aspect, I can look in the storage vendor UI to see that. My concern is: will oVirt stop provisioning storage in the domain because it *thinks* the domain is full. De-dup is currently running at about 2.5:1 so I'm concerned that oVirt will think the domain is full way before it actually is. Not clear if this is handled natively in oVirt or by the underlying lvs? ---- On Fri, 21 Feb 2020 21:35:06 +0000 Nir Soffer <nsoffer(a)redhat.com&gt; wrote ---- On Fri, Feb 21, 2020, 17:14 Alan G <mailto:alan%2Bovirt@griff.me.uk> wrote: Hi, I have an oVirt cluster with a storage domain hosted on a FC storage array that utilises block de-duplication technology. oVirt reports the capacity of the domain as though the de-duplication factor was 1:1, which of course is not the case. So what I would like to understand is the likely behavior of oVirt when the used space approaches the reported capacity. Particularly around the critical action space blocker. oVirt does not know about the underlying block storage thin provisioning implemention so it cannot help with this. You will have to use the underlying storage separately to learn about the actual allocation. This is unlikely to change for legacy storage, but for Managed Block Storage (conderlib) we may have a way to access such info. Gorka, do we have any support in cinderlib for getting info about storage alllocation and deduplication?
