      .Converting VDO logical volume to a thin volume is now possible

      You can now convert an existing Virtual Data Optimizer (VDO) logical volume (LV) into a thin volume by using the `--pooldatavdo` option with the `lvcreate` or `lvconvert` command. You can also use other options along with `--pooldatavdo` such as `--compression {y|n}`, `--deduplication {y|n}`, and `--vdosettings STRING`.
      For example, to convert a <lvol1> to a thin pool with enabled compression and deduplication, use the following command:
      ----
      # lvconvert --type thin-pool --pooldatavdo y <vg/lvol1>
      ----

      First of all, this title seems like it should be rewritten:
         1. Using multiple volumes using same VDOPoolLV
             You can convert existing VDO LV into a thin volume. After this conversion you can create a thin snapshot or you can add more thin volumes with thin-pool named after orignal LV name LV_tpool0.
      
             Example
             # lvcreate --type vdo -L 5G -V 10G -n vdo1 vg/vdopool
             # lvconvert --type thin vg/vdo1
             # lvcreate -V20 vg/vdo1_tpool0
      
      
       # turned on (no warnings), but then this operation does NOT work.
      [root@virt-021 ~]# grep thin_pool_autoextend_threshold /etc/lvm/lvm.conf 
              thin_pool_autoextend_threshold = 70     # edited by QA Thu Apr  4 05:11:29 2024
       
      [root@virt-021 ~]# lvcreate --type vdo -L 5G -V 10G -n vdo1 vg/vdopool
          The VDO volume can address 2 GB in 1 data slab.
          It can grow to address at most 16 TB of physical storage in 8192 slabs.
          If a larger maximum size might be needed, use bigger slabs.
        Logical volume "vdo1" created.
      [root@virt-021 ~]# lvconvert --type thin vg/vdo1
        Thin pool volume with chunk size 64.00 KiB can address at most <15.88 TiB of data.
        WARNING: Converting vg/vdo1 to fully provisioned thin volume.
      Do you really want to convert vg/vdo1? [y/n]: y
        Converted vg/vdo1 to thin volume.
