+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #998527 +++ This is a tracking bug for Change: OS Installer Support for LVM Thin Provisioning For more details, see: http://fedoraproject.org//wiki/Changes/InstallerLVMThinProvisioningSupport LVM has introduced thin provisioning technology, which provides greatly improved snapshot functionality in addition to thin provisioning capability. This change will make it possible to configure thin provisioning during OS installation. --- Additional comment from David Lehman on 2013-08-27 11:28:33 EDT --- The only missing piece is a way to select a usage profile in anaconda. You specify metadata size and chunk size via kickstart. The bug to add profiles to lvm2 for common thinp usage patterns is bug 958464. --- Additional comment from Jaroslav Reznik on 2013-10-11 04:45:46 EDT --- This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 Accepted Changes 100% Completed Deadline is on 2013-10-15 [1]. All Accepted Changes has to be code complete and ready to be validated in the Beta release (optionally by Fedora QA). Required bug state at this point is ON_QA. As for several System Wide Changes, Beta Change Deadline is a point of contingency plan, all incomplete Changes will be reported to FESCo for 2013-10-16 meeting. In case of any questions, don't hesitate to ask Wrangler (jreznik).

Is it acceptable to consider this Change completed without it or not? FESCo asked me to finish review of Changes this week. Thanks.
