Hi


I'm somehow missing the point here.

Could you please show us  'lvs -a -o+seg_pe_ranges'

Normally when you make a thin volume snapshot, the snapshot is sharing your 
blocks within thin-pool.  So no space is allocated on any SSD for this.
(And you cannot specify which block will be used in a thin-pool)

If you would be using 'old-snapshot' which does allocate 'extra' space for COW 
block -then you would probably see horrible performance with 200 snapshots...

And finally - standard command for moving extents around in a VG is - 'pvmove'.
