Hi

I am experimenting with RedHat EL 7 and thin provisioned LVs. I noticed that thin provisioned LVs are not supported yet. Is there a plan to add the support in a future release?

I managed to recover the system with some manual intervention:

  • do a forced restore of the VG (required to restore thin LVs)
  • create a temporary LV for thin Metadata
  • restore thin LV metadata in temporary volume
  • swap thin LV Metadata with restored Metadata in temporary LV
  • activate VG
