Bug#1027321: lxd init run as non-root fails to find LVM thin provisioning tools

Hi,

  I think the root of this problem is the difference in $PATH between
root and a normal user -- root includes /usr/sbin/, which is where the
`thin_check` binary is installed. LXD attempts to find it in the
current $PATH when deciding whether or not to enable LVM thin
provisioning [1].

  If you include /usr/sbin/ in your $PATH, can you successfully run
`lxd init`?

>    $ PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin lxd init

  I don't have LVM setup on my test machine at the moment, but the LXD
init process appeared was successful (except for actually creating the
storage pool in LVM) when I replicated this bug.

  I suspect this will have to be forwarded upstream, but would
appreciate hearing from you if this fixes the problem you've
experienced.

Mathias
