The problem is not with 'stopping' access - but to gain the access back.

So in this case - you need to run 'fsck' - and this fsck usually needs
more space - and the complexity starts with - where to get this space.

In the the 'most trivial' case - you have the space in 'VG' - you just
extend thin-pool and you run 'fsck' and it works.

But then there is number of cases ending with the case that you run
out of metadata space that has the maximal size of ~16G so you can't
even extend it, simply because it's unsupported to use any bigger
size.

So while every case has some way forward how to proceed - none of them
could be easily automated.

To better understand: what would be the (manual) solution here, if metadata are full and can not be extended due to the hard 16 GB limit?

And it's so much easier to monitor and prevent this to happen compared
with solving these thing later.

So all is needed is - user is aware what he is using and does proper
action and proper time.


Absolutely. However, monitoring can also fail - a safe failure model is a really important thing.

Thanks.
