An event will be generated.

It's very hard to say since it depends on your use case.  In general
you want to allow dmeventd plenty of time to extend the pool before
you run out of space.  So if you're seeing a _peak_ provisioning rate of
100meg a minute, I'd set the lwm to about 100meg.  It would be nice if LVM
could help you through this process.
