Hi,

I'm aware that thin provisioning is not yet production ready (no metadata resize) - but is there a way to recover from thin pool failure when pool metadata was filled up?




Unfortunately there is no 'easy' advice for now yet - you hit current Achilles heel of thinp support in lvm2 - we are thinking how to make recovery usable for user - but it's not easy task since many things are making it very complex - so it still needs some month of work.


So, supposing one is aware of this problem beforehand, at pool creation
can this problem be worked around by using --poolmetadatasize to make a metadata volume much larger than the default?

And if yes, do you have any advice on the metadata size we should use?

Thank you
