Hello

when performing the initial synchronization of an thin-provisioned LVM2 volume from primary to secondary, I can see data gets written on secondary and the resulting LVM2 volume, although supposedly "thin", ends up with 100% used data.

To fix that, I need to `blkdiscard` it (even from the primary, that works too) after synchronization. And this is an extraordinary painful step to go through. Because of that limitation, I cannot create many drbd resources that would over-commit physically available space at once: I need to sync/discard the resources step by step...

Is there a way to make the initial replication keep being thin (or sparse, as in file-system terminology, when dealing with zeroes)?

Thank you!

Best regards,
