+    # 'thin_pool_autoextend_threshold' and 'thin_pool_autoextend_percent' define
+    # how to handle automatic pool extension. The former defines when the
+    # pool should be extended: when its space usage exceeds this many
+    # percent. The latter defines how much extra space should be allocated for
+    # the pool, in percent of its current size.
+    #
+    # For example, if you set thin_pool_autoextend_threshold to 70 and
+    # thin_pool_autoextend_percent to 20, whenever a pool exceeds 70% usage,
+    # it will be extended by another 20%. For a 1G pool, using up 700M will
+    # trigger a resize to 1.2G. When the usage exceeds 840M, the pool will
+    # be extended to 1.44G, and so on.
+    #
+    # Setting thin_pool_autoextend_threshold to 100 disables automatic
+    # extensions. The minimum value is 50 (A setting below 50 will be treated
+    # as 50).
