Problem Proxmox shows this warning message: WARNING: You have not turned on protection against thin pools running out of space. WARNING: Set activation/thin_pool_autoextend_threshold below 100 to trigger automatic extension of thin pools before they get full. This warning indicates that LVM thin pools are not configured to automatically extend when they approach capacity, which could lead to VMs running out of disk space unexpectedly. Solution Configure LVM to automatically extend thin pools before they become full. ...
