        And if you look, that EXT3 type is on LVM. Hence the weird confusion 🙂

          Yeah that, as I said, is what got me.

          So, if you pick EXT is enables thin provisioning by default?

            Yes. Because thin provisioning is not actually the option. It's actually just raw LVM vs file based. Files are thin provisioned. LVM raw is not. File based is being called ext3 here.
