[lvm-devel] [PATCH V4] lvm2app: Add thin and thin pool lv creation

Looked over the patch and have the following comments:

The patch has a warning when building.  In the function lvm_lv_thinpool,
the variable lwmb is unused and can be removed.  The added functions
don't verify all the parameters.  We can't protect against everything,
but I still think it would be good to check for NULL on the pointer
arguments and non-zero length on strings?

Thanks,
Tony
