It would appear as though the default is to not enable thin-provisioning, and the PKGBUILD does not have any inclusion of that option either. /tmp/makepkg/src/LVM2.2.02.98 $ ./configure --help ... --with-thin=TYPE thin provisioning support: internal/shared/none [[TYPE=none]] ... It appears as though you need to edit the PKGBUILD and build yourself. Regards, -- Curtis Shimamoto sugar.and.scruffy@xxxxxxxxx
