Hi Zdenek,
just for confirmation: so using a 16 GiB thin metadata volume *will* 
result in activation problems? For example, a

lvcreate --thin system --name thinpool -L 100G --poolmetadatasize 16G

will be affected by the problem you wrote above?

Finally, does it means that lvmthin man page is wrong when stating that 
"Thin pool metadata LV sizes can be from 2MiB to 16GiB" (note the GiB 
suffix rather than GB)?

Thanks.
