I am trying to create a new Virtual Machine (VM) from Proxmox web GUI but doesn't perform the required operation with the following error message:

WARNING: Thin pool pve/data needs check has read-only metadata.
TASK ERROR: unable to create VM 101 - lvcreate 'pve/vm-101-disk-0' error: Cannot create new thin volume, free space in thin pool pve/data reached threshold.

I have volume group (VG) PVE with the following attributes

vg.PNG

Here is the output of lvs -a command
lvs -a.PNG

As mentioned in the above output the data lv is the thinpool lv with size of 816.2GB. Its usage is only 11.37% with a huge amount of space available for more LVs. Vm-100 and vm 102 created from the same thinpool .

Below pic provides more information of the thinpool LV data.

Clearly there is sufficient space available for more LVs but according to the error message the free space is not available. What is the issue here and how can it be resolved? Please guide.
