      What advantage or disadvantage is there selecting LVM Thin Provisioning instead of LVM partition scheme?

      When I select LVM Thin Provisioning and then choose to have Fedora automatically create the mounts points. Device type is set to LVM Thin Provisioning for / but device type is set to LVM for swap. Why wouldn't Fedora automatically set the device type for swap to LVM Thin Provisioning?

        What would it mean to thin provision a swap volume?

          I'm not even sure why I thought it would make sense.

              It's just thin provisioning, with all the benefits and pitfalls of any other type of thin provisioning. Why it would be required, I don't know.
