Kernel: 3.5-rc7 lvm/dmeventd: up2date git version 186a2772 I created my thin disk like this: lvcreate --poolmetadatasize 5G -L 10G -T thinvol/pool1 -V 100G --name disk1 After some autoresizing lvs looks like this: # lvs LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Move Log Copy% Convert disk1 thinvol Vwi-a-tz 100,00g pool1 22,95 pool1 thinvol twi-a-tz 33,77g 67,97 When i copy constantly data to my device - i end up here: # lvs LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Move Log Copy% Convert disk1 thinvol Vwi-aotz 100,00g pool1 99,96 pool1 thinvol twi-a-tz 123,86g 80,71 So the pool is bigger than disk1 and the 23,86GB will never get used as the disk is FULL. Is this expected? Greets Stefan
