Hi Zdenek,
Thanks for your helpful reply.
Ha again Zdenek,
Just to confirm, am I going to be ok enough with the scheme I described
as long as I ensure that 'Allocated pool data' does not get to 100% ?
For now, I have my btrfs filesystems mounted with "discard", so
hopefully it should tell dm-thin when it can free up/reuse blocks.
Given that, am I more or less ok using dm-thin that way?
And for my own understanding, is there any reason why I would even want
to consider thin_pool_autoextend_threshold < 100 ?
Hi
If you monitor amount of free space for data AND for metadata in thin-pool
yourself you can keep easily threshold == 100.
Just don't forget when you upsize 'data' - you should also typically
extend also metadata - it's not uncommon issue user start with small
'data' & 'metadata' LV with thin-pool - then continue to only extend
thin-pool 'data' volume and ignore/forget about metadata completely
and hit the full metadata device - which can lead to many troubles
(hitting full dataLV is normally not a big deal).
Regards
Zdenek
