We have choosen Linux distro Ubuntu 20.04 in order to create Thin LVM Pool. However, you can select any other distro as the setup is almost same …atleast for CentOS distro. You can simply following these steps to create Thin LVM pool and then add it under virtualizor panel for provisioning of VPS. It is pertinent to mention here that Think LVM pool allows you to oversell disk space.<\/p>

  1. In order to create Thin LVM Pool first check your Disks using command “lsblk”<\/li>\n\n
  2. Then Enter fdisk for partition of required disk
    fdisk \/dev\/sdb<\/li>\n\n
  3. Press “n” for new partition or “d” for deleting partition if it is already in use. To check partition layout use fdisk -l<\/li>\n\n
  4. Then created primariy parition by pressing “p”<\/li>\n\n
  5. The keep entering until the all the default options are selected like starting sector, ending sector and default partition number i.e. 1. If it has been previously written as xfs the system will show following error:<\/li><\/ol>

    Created a new partition 1 of type ‘Linux’ and of size 931.5 GiB.
    Partition #1 contains a xfs signature.
    Do you want to remove the signature? [Y]es\/[N]o:<\/p>

    1. Just type yes and move on.<\/li>\n\n
    2. Now type wq to execute the above operations.
      Note: (w for just peroforming write and q for quite. If you deleted parition above in step 3 then first perform write command using “w” and then reboot before you can create pritions on it.)<\/li>\n\n
    3. Now reboot after creating partition to start creating volumes on it.<\/li>\n\n
    4. pvcreate \/dev\/sdb1 [If it already has partition then pvcreate \/dev\/sda3 or For second drive vg2 pvcreate \/dev\/sdb1]<\/li>\n\n
    5. root@ice:\/home\/user#lsblk will show nothing new.<\/li><\/ol>

      You can verify the addition of Thin LVM by command LVS<\/p>
      \"\"<\/figure>
      Now Add the newly created Thin LVM Pool storage in virtualizor<\/p>
      \"\"<\/figure>
      Now upon creation of a new VPS on this Thin LVM we can again check the usage using command LVS<\/p>
      \"\"<\/figure>
      Here we can see a new VPS has been created with 200 GB space under thin_pool group. The data% is also mentioned which is about 2%. <\/p>
