lvm_thin_pool
Manages LVM thin pools (which are simply logical volumes created with the --thinpool argument to lvcreate).
Actions
| Action | Description | 
|---|---|
| :create | (default) Create a new thin pool logical volume | 
| :resize | Resize an existing thin pool logical volume (resizing only handles extending existing, this action will not shrink volumes due to the lvextendcommand being passed) | 
Properties
| Name | Type | Default | Description | 
|---|---|---|---|
| name | String | name property | Name of the logical volume | 
| group | String | (required) Volume group in which to create the new volume (not required if the volume is declared inside of an lvm_volume_groupblock) | |
| size | String | (required) Size of the thin pool volume, including units (k, K, m, M, g, G, t, T) or as the percentage of the size of the volume group | |
| filesystem | String | nil | The format for the file system | 
| filesystem_params | String | nil | Optional parameters to use when formatting the file system | 
| mount_point | String, Hash | nil | Either a String containing the path to the mount point, or a Hash | 
| physical_volumes | String, Array | [] | Array of physical volumes that the volume will be restricted to | 
| stripes | Integer | nil | Number of stripes for the volume | 
| stripe_size | Integer | nil | Number of kilobytes per stripe segment (must be a power of 2 less than or equal to the physical extent size for the volume group) | 
| mirrors | Integer | nil | Number of mirrors for the volume | 
| contiguous | true,false | false | Whether or not volume should use the contiguous allocation policy | 
| readahead | Integer, String | nil | The readahead sector count for the volume (can be a value between 2 and 120, 'auto', or 'none') | 
| take_up_free_space | true,false | false | whether to have the LV take up the remainder of free space on the VG. Only valid for resize action | 
| thin_volume | Proc | nil | Shortcut for creating a new lvm_thin_volumedefinition (the volumes will be created in the order they are declared) | 
mount_point
If using a Hash, it must contain the following keys:
- location- (required) the directory to mount the volume on
- options- the mount options for the volume
- dump- the dump field for the fstab entry
- pass- the pass field for the fstab entry
Examples
lvm_thin_pool 'home' do
  group       'vg00'
  size        '25%VG'
  filesystem  'ext4'
  mount_point '/home'
  stripes     3
  mirrors     2
