Hi, Harald
I notice these thin_* binaries are installed to kdump initramfs in spite
of the fact that I don't use thinp lvm:
# ll sbin/thin_*
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 384648 Dec 4 20:37 sbin/thin_check
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 2184112 Dec 4 20:37 sbin/thin_dump
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 2179792 Dec 4 20:37 sbin/thin_repair
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 2179928 Dec 4 20:37 sbin/thin_restore
This is introduced here:
commit 5d623b1

lvm: always install thin utils for lvm
These binaries are totally 6.6M in size. That's too much for a kdump
environment.
As you probably know, in kdump kernel, we only have very limited memory
(~128M) and makedumpfile (a vmcore dump tool) is more faster if there's
more available memory out there.
IMO, it's best we only install these thin_* bins when people are
actually using these ones.
Anyway, I don't know if you have any particular reason to do this..
Thanks
WANG Chao
