Hello,
we are trying to restore templates for v.5.1 on a v.5.3 and have have tried with --storage=lvm-thin and we get errors.

How can I restore on lvm-thin and keep the directory structure.

Is there anyway on the GUI to create a container with directory file system instead of raw?
 
Please post the output of the exact error you're getting.
 
# pct restore 300 vzdump-lxc-701-2018_04_23-15_56_44.tar --storage local-lvm
--virtualsize may not be zero.
unable to restore CT 300 - lvcreate 'pve/vm-300-disk-0' error: Run `lvcreate --help' for more information.

would you like me to upload the container somewhere. It is just data less template. Debian 9 with SYSVInit and some packages preinstalled...
 
You need to specify a size for the rootfs on lvm-thin. (apparently in your container config it's set to 0)

Try restoring like this:

Code: 
pct restore 300 /path/to/file --storage local-lvm --rootfs local-lvm:8

where the :8 means 8GB, change this accordingly to your setup.

Hi @oguz, how can I specify a size smaller than 1GB? I have a small CT with alpine that I would like it to be 128MB.
Can this be done?

yes, you can specify e.g. 0.1 as well. Note that the unit is GiB (i.e. 2^30 bytes).
