I was more worried about why a default sized (auto-created) meta volume 
would fill up almost completely after 3 hours of use.

That message is empty, there is nothing in it.

My computer automatically deletes it when messages such as these come 
by.

It's just a failsafe against time wasting and all that.

Maybe LVM could learn from it, but then it deletes volumes maybe too :p.

Regards lol.

Right. Well I haven't been able to use my cache again, the SSD seems 
faulty. But. I haven't utilized it to the same extent yet. But. It's now 
at about 17% of the original value (I mean what was 100% back then). 
It's just 4x the size. I can't have stuff like this happening you know. 
I just created it at 4x the default size. Maybe it will work for a 
while.
