But it's currently impossible to expect you will fill the thin-pool to
full capacity and everything will continue to run smoothly - this is
not going to happen.

Even with EXT4 and errors=remount-ro?


However there are many different solutions for different problems -
and with current script execution - user may build his own solution -
i.e.  call
'dmsetup remove -f' for running thin volumes - so all instances get
'error' device   when pool is above some threshold setting (just like
old 'snapshot' invalidation worked) - this way user will just kill
thin volume user task, but will still keep thin-pool usable for easy
maintenance.


Interesting. However, the main problem with libvirt is that its pool/volume management fall apart when used on thin-pools. Basically, libvirt does not understand that a thinpool is a container for thin volumes (ie: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvirt-users/2014-August/msg00010.html)
