This is a classic (aka CoW/copy-on-write or "thick") snapshot since it
was created with a size (-L 70GB). When creating a thin snapshot you do
not specify a size for the snapshot LV - it consumes space from the
associated thin pool as needed.

Generally you can find information about the LVs on your system using
the "lvs" command. The "Attr" field displays lv attributes including the
volume type - see the NOTES section of 'man lvs' for the meaning of the
values. The lvs report can also show you whether a snapshot is using CoW
or thinp and the amount of data it is consuming.

I have now migrated to thin snapshots:

These are my logical volumes:

#  lvs

 LV     VG       Attr       LSize   Pool   Origin Data%  Meta%  Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
  fedora vgfedora Vwi-a-tz-- 700.00g pool00        16.61                                  
  pool00 vgfedora twi-aotz-- 929.75g               12.50  16.61                           


But I am unable to boot now due to these errors:

Nov 24 10:44:00 localhost.HPNotebook dracut-initqueue[861]: Scanning devices dm-0  for LVM logical volumes vgfedora/fedora

Nov 24 10:44:00 localhost.HPNotebook dracut-initqueue[888]: Can't process LV vgfedora/fedora: thin target support missing from kernel?

I have tried to mark the volumes as active by :

                lvchange -kn vgfedora/pool00
                lvchange -kn vgfedora/fedora

But no change.



How do I add the dm-thin-pool module ? I can't even boot.
