Coming Feature: Replication for lvm storage

[L1243]

Hey,

are there any plans for making replication with lvm storage possible?
live migration and snapshots are working so it shouldn't be that hard to realize or am I wrong?

 

[fabian]

no current plans. replication with zfs works because it's trivial and cheap (and a stock upstream feature) to get a delta stream from one snapshot to another. LVM thin snapshots work totally different under the hood, and we'd basically have to write our own "delta stream generator"..

Ah okay thanks for the answer and the information.

But would be a cool feature

This is a utility that mimics zfs send and zfs recv for the LVM thin world, developed by the reliable company Linbit - https://github.com/LINBIT/thin-send-recv

Looks good. It's not too terribly difficult to implement it manually with thin_delta(8) either IMO.

What do you think, Proxmox team? This would be a great feature.
