[linux-lvm] Why does thinpool take 2*poolmetadatasize space?

When I create an lvmthinpool with size S and poolmetadatasize P, it reduces the available freespace by S+2P. I expected that to be S+P. Where did the extra poolmetadatasize get used? See below for example. before lvcreate we had 255868 free, after we had 254588. The difference is 1280. (1024 +

[linux-lvm] lvm2-testsuite stability

Hi, I'm looking to enable the lvm2 testsuite as an autopkgtest [1] to run in debian and ubuntu. I have a merge request up at [2]. The general idea is just to a.) package 'lvm2-testsuite' as an installable package b.) run the testsuite as part of the autopkgtest. The version I'm testing on

shell after the tests. My ultimate goal is to provide a distro with confidence that the lvm2 package they're integrating is working correctly. I'm ok to skip tests that provide noisy results. In this case, having *some* reliable test is a huge improvement. Thanks, Scott On Mon, Jun 19, 2023 at 8:26 AM
