This patch series add support for a new lvmqcow2 storage format.
Currently, we can't do snasphot && thin provisionning on shared block devices
because
lvm thin can't share his metavolume. I have a lot of onprem vmware customers
where it's really blocking the proxmox migration. (and they are looking for
ovirt/oracle
virtualisation where it's working fine).
It's possible to format a block device without filesystem with qcow2 format
directly.
This is used by redhat rhev/ovirt since almost 10year in their vsdm daemon.
For thin provisiniong or to handle extra size of snapshot, we need to be able
to resize
the lvm volume dynamically.
The volume is increased by chunk of 1GB by default (can be changed).
Qemu implement events to sent an alert when the write usage is reaching a
threshold.
(Threshold is 50% of last chunk, so when vm have 500MB free)
The resize is async (around 2s), so user need to choose a correct chunk size &&
threshold,
if the storage is really fast (nvme for example, where you can write more than
500MB in 2ss)
If the resize is not enough fast, the vm will pause in io-error.
pvestatd is looking for this error, and try to extend again if needed and
resume the vm
