thin snapshot actual usage

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Short question.

When a snapshot is created of some thin volume its data_percent is typically the same as for its parent volume.

However that doesn't mean it actually uses those extents for itself.

How can I obtain actual information as to how much extents the thin volume uses?

I also realized that putting data on a thin volume does not have to cause the thin snapshot to allocate more of the previous extents were unused?

So for a thin volume that does not see a lot of data *changes* but only data *growth* it means all of this data is only allocated once right.

Regards.
