thin_dump takes a long time on large thinpool #47

Hi,

Just trying to use lvmsync to sync a LV, whilst everything works, the thin_dump part at the start of the process takes a very long time. I assume this is down to the large size of our thinpool metadata (100TB data, 8GB Meta)

I was wondering if lvmsync could use the thin_delta tool instead?

This post seems to describe a similar use case.

Any thoughts?
