    Hi all,

      Is it possible to create sparse block devices with LVM (logical volumes 
not
    volume groups) on RHEL6 like ZFS does??


Do you mean something like this (from the lvcreate man page):

"lvcreate --virtualsize 1T --size 100M --snapshot --name sparse vg1"
        creates a sparse device named /dev/vg1/sparse of size  1TB  with  space
        for just under 100MB of actual data on it.

Yes, but If I understand good, these options are only valid for snapshots ... I am trying to do a sparse logical volume without using snapshots ...
