Hi,
We are looking for users to help us test Thin LVM support in Virtualizor. This has been there in Virtualizor since 5 versions and was under private beta i.e. only select users were invited to test this. We are now opening it up for the public.
Benefits :
With Thin LVM you can oversell disk space on KVM and Xen virtualized Nodes.
Guide (Do this on a new server only) :
1) Create the Thin LV :
root> lvcreate --size 100G --type thin-pool --thinpool thin_pool VolumeGroupName
2) Update the variable $globals['thin_lv'] in /usr/local/virtualizor/universal.php : $globals['thin_lv'] = 'thin_pool';
That is it.
WARNING :
1) Thin LVM requires experienced admins to manage it
2) This feature is in BETA.
3) If your thin LV gets full all your VMs will hang.
4) If your thin LV Meta Data is lost, all your data can be lost.
5) Dont use in Production environments yet.
Licenses :
If you need licenses, email us and we will give you the licenses.
More Beta :
Many other hidden features exist in Virtualizor. Stay tuned for more beta features coming out.
Regards, Virtualizor Team
