This warns that your thin pool pve/data
is currently over-provisioned, i.e. you have assigned more space to volumes that is actually available. As long as there is actual free space nothing is wrong, but once the disks start filling up, it could happen that the pool runs out of space, which is bad.

The LSize
column shows the provisioned space for each volume and the Data%
column shows how much space is currently actually used. The most important thing to keep an eye out is the Data%
of the thin pool data
itself (currently 16.54
).
