No mount points recommended for rethinning.
The following 3 mount points were not recommended for rethinning:
/test04 : Potential recoverable space of 1.89 GB is less than
2.00 GB fixed limit

Example 2: Volumes Recommended and Not Recommended for Thin-
Provisioning
The following example uses the
--recommend
and
--verbose
parameters to display which volumes are recommended for thin-
provisioning, and which volumes are not recommended for thin-provisioning, and the reasons those volumes are not recommended.
# eqlvolume rethin --verbose --recommend
