Is this the sort of topic where we should start making use of

Hi, the proposed solution on BZ entry seems somewhat too "invasive" to me.
I think it generally is a good idea to warn the users about possibly unexptected behavior (ie: full pool).

However, for the specific use-case of taking read-only snapshots, something as simple as "--silencepoolsizewarn" flag (or similar configuration variable) would do the trick without distrupting legitimate warnings.



We can possibly print WARNING message only with the 1st. thin LV which causes overprovisioining of thin-pool.

As for 'read-only' snapshot - it really doesn't matter - the overprovisioned pool can in the 'worst' case end in out-of-space condition (i.e. fully rewritten origin)
