On a CentOS 7 server with 4X Samsung 800 SD with hard raid 10 I am using KVM for virtualization. I created a thin LVM storage for VMs and using "lvcreate -l 100%FREE --type thin-pool --thinpool thin_pool vgssd" gave me the following:
Thin pool volume with chunk size 1.00 MiB can address at most 253.00 TiB of data
WARNING: Pool zeroing and 1.00 MiB large chunk size slows down thin provisioning
WARNING: Consider disabling zeroing (-Zn) or using smaller chunk size (<512.00 KiB).
Logical volume "thin_pool" created.
What do you think about the chunk size? Is Zeroing necessary? VM performance is important to me, they are mostly Windows.
