I realized I was running out of space on my current partition and decided to create an lvm group with a single thin pool volume on it. Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out how to do this and the way I'm currently trying is unsupported by the kernel (interestingly enough.) Searching, using modprobe with the keywords "mapper" or "device" is not turning anything up either.
Note that the UUIDs were changed for anticracker reasons but everything else is correct.

Code:
sudo lvm
lvm> pvcreate --pvmetadatacopies 2 /dev/sda4
lvm> vgcreate --clustered n --maxlogicalvolumes 7 --maxphysicalvolumes 255 --vgmetadatacopies 2 sda44 /dev/sda4
lvcreate -a ay --chunksize 512KiB -L 400G -V 773.92G --thinpool sda44
Cannot read thin-pool target version.
