Thanks for the response but no, I wanted to know total disk usage at the
point in time.
e.g. on a non LVM thin machine I can get
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/pve-data 799G 411G 389G 52% /var/lib/vz
/dev/mapper/pve1-pve--data1 917G 820G 89G 91% /var/lib/vz1
Nice and simple. 52% used on one partition/volume and 91% on another
But df -h with LVM thin seems unaware of some of the available disk space.
I was trying to add this machine to my monitoring system so I get a
regular idea of disk usage overall.
Using 'lvs' seems to report correctly. I just need to figure out how to
grep out the figures in a plugin !
