Bug 806885

Description of problem:

Using a thin volume, while creating a file greater than the current thin_pool size, the increase in the thin_pool size should occur. 

dmeventd was running but the LV was not increased. 

upon manual attempt this was the error:

[root@node01:~]$ lvextend --use-policies main_vg/thin_pool
  Extending logical volume thin_pool to 156.00 MiB
  Number of extents requested (7) needs to be divisible by 2.

in /var/log/messages the same can be seen:

Specifying the size has to be precise as well, no rounding seems to take place:

[root@node01:~]$ lvextend -L+60M main_vg/thin_pool
  Extending logical volume thin_pool to 188.00 MiB
  Number of extents requested (15) needs to be divisible by 2.

How reproducible:

Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create VG, create a striped thin pool 

lvcreate -i 2 -T -L128M main_vg/thin_pool

2. create a thin LV and create a FS,

lvcreate -T -V2G main_vg/thin_pool

mke2fs -t ext3 /dev/main_vg/lvol0

3. Write data which is larger than thin_pool initial size of 128M:

dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mnt/testfile2 bs=1024 count=143141

  
Actual results:

The I/O is stuck, the LV does not get increased.

Expected results:

thin pool LV should get increased automatically when --use-policies is provided. 
The rounding up of increase of space should be divisible by 2.
