Description Matthew Sakai 2021-05-27 20:32:28 UTC 
Description of problem:

A VDO with a sparse index will lose all dedupe information after conversion.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a VDO with a sparse deduplication index. Add some data to it. Observe the number of data blocks used.
2. Convert the VDO to an LVM VDO (using the tool soon to be published)
3. Write the same data to a new region of the VDO volume.

Actual results:

"Data blocks used" count doubles after second write.

Expected results:

"Data blocks used" does not change after second write.
