Monitors how full a VDO pool data is becoming and emits
a warning to syslog when it exceeds 80% full.
The warning is repeated when more then 85%, 90% and 95%
of the VDO pool is filled. See
.BR lvm.conf (5).
When a VDO pool fills over 50% vdo plugin calls
configured \fIdmeventd/vdo_command\fP with every 5% increase.
With default setting it calls internal
\fBlvm lvextend --use-policies\fP to resize VDO pool
when it's been filled above the configured threshold
\fIactivation/vdo_pool_autoextend_threshold\fP.
If the command fails, dmeventd vdo plugin will keep
retrying execution with increasing time delay between
retries upto 42 minutes.
User may also configure external command to support more advanced
maintenance operations of a VDO pool.
Such external command can e.g. remove some unneeded space
with \fBfstrim\fP(8),
but also can use \fBlvextend --use-policies\fP if other actions
have not released enough space.
Command is executed with environmental variable
\fBLVM_RUN_BY_DMEVENTD=1\fP so any lvm2 command executed
in this environment will not try to interact with dmeventd.
To see the fullness of a VDO pool command may check this
environmental variable \fBDMEVENTD_VDO_POOL\fP.
Command can also read status with tools like \fBlvs\fP(8).
