[lvm-devel] [PATCH 0/6] Thin external origin support

[Zdenek Kabelac]

Pach set adds support for external origin usage for thin volumes.
Usage might be observed in the 'tests:' patch 6.

I've tried to combine as many usage patterns as I could think of,
but if someone sees still some missing behavior, report please.

Patch set does not provide yet for 'lvcreate -s' usage.

Zdenek Kabelac (6):
  thin: add support for external origin
  thin: external origin cannot be changed
  thin: report external origin
  thin: removal of external origin
  thin: lvconvert support for external origin
  tests: lvconvert external origin
