It's tied to the chunk size of the thinp. If I create a 4MB chunk size, ioopt goes up to match it. The default is 256KB, which reflects the values above.


[root at f19s ~]# lvcreate -L 400G --type thin-pool -c 4M --thinpool thinp vg1
  device-mapper: remove ioctl on  failed: Device or resource busy
  Logical volume "thinp" created
[root at f19s ~]# lvcreate -V 100G -T vg1/thinp --name data
  Logical volume "data" created
[root at f19s ~]# blockdev --getiomin --getioopt /dev/mapper/vg1-data
512
