RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jakub Krysl 2017-11-30 15:09:36 UTC 
Description of problem:
There is no warning when user fills vdo with data, instead he gets I/O errors right away. For comparison and inspiration this is how dm-thin handles this:

/var/log/messages:
[81469.069613] device-mapper: thin: 253:4: reached low water mark for data device: sending event.

This is mainly useful for thin provisioning as it gets admin enough time to increase physical size of the storage.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kmod-kvdo-6.1.0.55-10

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create vdo
2. fill it with enough data to fill whole real physical size of VDO
Comment 5 Jakub Krysl 2018-10-03 07:51:21 UTC 
Tested with kmod-kvdo-6.1.1.125-5.el7.x86_64 using 6G VDO on 10G drive. Filling VDO with dd oflag=direct, /var/log/messages:
Oct  2 17:13:39 storageqe-75 kernel: kvdo1:packerQ: compression is enabled
Oct  2 17:13:39 storageqe-75 UDS/vdodmeventd[14034]: INFO   (vdodmeventd/14034) VDO device vdo is now registered with dmeventd for monitoring
Oct  2 17:13:39 storageqe-75 lvm[13863]: Monitoring VDO pool vdo.
Oct  2 17:27:39 storageqe-75 lvm[13863]: WARNING: VDO pool vdo is now 80.69% full.
Oct  2 17:28:19 storageqe-75 lvm[13863]: WARNING: VDO pool vdo is now 85.25% full.
Oct  2 17:29:39 storageqe-75 lvm[13863]: WARNING: VDO pool vdo is now 90.64% full.
Oct  2 17:30:29 storageqe-75 lvm[13863]: WARNING: VDO pool vdo is now 96.07% full.

For comparison this is what LVM thinp does in the exactly same situtation (6G physical):

Oct  3 09:33:05 storageqe-75 kernel: device-mapper: thin: Data device (dm-2) discard unsupported: Disabling discard passdown.
Oct  3 09:33:05 storageqe-75 lvm[13863]: Monitoring thin pool vg-tpool-tpool.
