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 Jonathan Earl Brassow 2018-10-08 16:26:00 UTC 
We've seen a number of reports of people running out of metadata space.  It doesn't hurt us to be a little more generous in our metadata area allocation.

I realize that we have functions to grow the metadata space on the fly, but not everyone heeds the advice to keep some VG space in reserve for such situations.  We are not here to spite them - let's do them a favor.
Comment 6 Zdenek Kabelac 2019-04-03 14:39:12 UTC 
Will be resolved via Bug 1610260.

Metadata will automatically extended bigger when user extends thin-pool.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1610260 ***
Comment 7 Corey Marthaler 2019-06-04 18:17:20 UTC 
For the record, even though this bug was marked a dup of bug 1610260, none of the four scenarios listed above to be tested in rhel7.7 changed at all. This bug should have just been closed WONTFIX if this is expected.
