Re: [Xen-API] [xs-devel] lvmthin
So sorry, I meant of course to write that the utility is lvmthin
(not thinlvm).

As of around CentOS 6.5 (and for sure in

LVM volumes. There is an associated snapshot design based on LVM
thin provisioning that even supports the ability to do snapshots
of snapshots, etc. down the chain.
Unfortunately, from a cursory look, it doesn't look like a back
port to CentOS 5 would be that easy or even possible, but that it
is integrated into both CentOS 6 and CentOS 7 gives some hope for
a possibly standardized support of it in a future XenServer
release, doesn't it? The other big question would be how readily
something like this could be integrated into XenServer.
