No, it's an LVM feature. It's one of those "if you don't know what it is |
| 13 |
you don't need it" type features so I don't understand whey it is enabled |
| 14 |
by default in the ebuild. |

Thin volumes in LVM use only the space they need, so the space you |
| 17 |
allocate to them, so you can create volumes with a total size greater |
| 18 |
than the available disk space. |
