Description Zdenek Kabelac 2015-01-12 09:08:02 UTC
Description of problem:

Thin provisioning is usually meant to be running with enabled monitor. But ATM it's upto a system admin to setup some reasonable values for threshold.

This has unpleasant side effect - that normal user who doesn't check full doc for thin provisioning usage is not enabling monitoring at all, and hits the overfilled thin-pool without any single warning.

Upstream code already is checking if data or metadata thresholds are crossed and does not allow to create new thins - but this all starts to work only when threshold are set below it's default 100% value.

Find out some good way how to report/set/select better defaults to avoid most of problems of overfilled pools which is weak point of this thinp usage.

Comment 1 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 16:42:01 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

Comment 2 Zdenek Kabelac 2015-07-08 14:42:01 UTC
Via bug 1189215 overprovisioning is reported now.

However monitor status is not checked - it seems the would for now introduce quite wild set of messages.

Comment 3 Jan Kurik 2015-07-15 14:35:20 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle.
Changing version to '23'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 11:22:10 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 13:09:31 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
