.B thin_metadata_size
calculates the size of the thin provisioning metadata based on the block size
of the thin provisioned devices, the size of the thin provisioning pool and
the maximum number of all thin prisioned devices and snapshots. Size/number
option arguments can be followed by unit specifiers in short one character
and long form (eg. -b1m or -b1megabytes).
the maximum number of all thin prisioned devices and snapshots.
Because thin provisioning pools are holding widely variable contents,
this tool is needed to provide sensible initial default size.
.IP "\fB\-b, \-\-block-size\fP \fIBLOCKSIZE[bskKmMgGtTpPeEzZyY]\fP"
Block size of thin provisioned devices in units of bytes,sectors,kilobytes,kibibytes,... respectively.
Default is in sectors without a block size unit specifier.
Size/number option arguments can be followed by unit specifiers in short one character
