NVMe - LVM vs LVM-Thin

[lixaotec]

Dear folks,

Just wondering if LVM has any advantage against LVM-Thin regarding performance and wearout for NVMe SSDs?

Does anyone has any recomendations for it?

I´m not taking account the already known space optimization benefits.

Thanks

Hi,

LVM is faster than Thin-LVM because it has not to allocate the blocks before it can write.
Theoretically, LVM-Thin will have more writes because of the metadata.
But in real life, this makes no different because the amount is not much.
