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 Alasdair Kergon 2012-04-20 15:15:07 UTC
Monitor the kernel's thin pool metadata usage, and it exceeds a specified threshold, extend it.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 06:07:42 UTC
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 23:57:08 UTC
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.

Comment 3 Corey Marthaler 2012-07-26 19:29:03 UTC
QE reviewed this BZ for QA_ACK but was unable to ack due to a lack of
requirements or description of how the new feature is supposed to work or be
tested.

Please see
https://wiki.test.redhat.com/ClusterStorage/WhyNoAck

Comment 4 Corey Marthaler 2012-08-09 17:53:21 UTC
QA planning phase ends Aug 10th (tomorrow), without more information this feature will likely be nacked by QA.

Comment 5 Zdenek Kabelac 2012-08-10 11:59:26 UTC
While we have the preliminary testing code for lvm part the kernel part is still not finished.

So the test for this bugzilla should focus on testing corner-case behavior when metadata device will get full.

In the ideal case the pool should switch itself into read-only mode and data stored in pool should remain readable while any new write should fail.

Comment 6 Corey Marthaler 2012-08-15 22:13:15 UTC
Adding QA ack for 6.4.

Devel will need to provide unit testing results however before this bug can be
ultimately verified by QA.

Comment 7 Zdenek Kabelac 2012-10-11 09:54:31 UTC
Feature is not yet ready, postponing to the next release.

Comment 13 Zdenek Kabelac 2014-11-25 18:07:16 UTC
Monitoring of metadata volumes and its automatic online resize should be available with version 2.02.106 and newer and thin-pool target >=1.10

It's controlled with lvm.conf  global/thin_pool_autoextend_threshold option.
