Hello !
I am running tests using VDO pools and LVM thin pools. I've added this to lvm.conf :
snapshot_autoextend_threshold = 90
snapshot_autoextend_percent = 10
thin_pool_autoextend_threshold = 90
thin_pool_autoextend_percent = 10
vdo_pool_autoextend_threshold = 90
vdo_pool_autoextend_percent = 10
then ran :
Bash:
systemctl restart lvm2-monitor
Following this RHEL documentation : https://docs.redhat.com/en/document...y-extending-a-thin-pool_extending-a-thin-pool
And my
Bash:
lvs -o +seg_monitor
shows they are monitored :
Code:

  root            pve  -wi-ao---- <41.52g
But I fill my VDO or thin LVs and they don't get expanded...
 
Btw. vdo is horrible to performance and so it's just useable for data which isn't accessed anymore ... :)
