[linux-lvm] metadata problems while testing lvm2 git with dm_thin_pool

[Stefan Priebe - Profihost AG]

Hello list,

i'm testing dm_thin_pool with lvm2 right now. And i'm always running 
into the situation that the metadata get's full.

Kernel: 3.5-rc7
lvm/dmeventd: up2date git version 186a2772

I created my thin disk like this:
lvcreate -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

# dmsetup table
thinvol-pool1: 0 70811648 linear 253:4 0
