Description Richard W.M. Jones 2017-06-12 12:19:40 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1460577 +++

Description of problem:

pvresize-size failed to resize an LVM physical volume.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libguestfs-1.36.3-4.el7.x86_64

The reproducer is:

  $ guestfish -N disk:10G pvcreate /dev/sda : pvresize-size /dev/sda 5G
  libguestfs: error: pvresize_size: /dev/sda: /dev/sda: Requested size 5.00 GiB is less than real size 10.00 GiB. Proceed?  [y/n]: [n]
    Physical Volume /dev/sda not resized.

Add -v -x to the command line to see the lvm2 commands being performed.

Actually the problem is not the kernel, but the lvm2 package.

WORKING => lvm2-2.02.166-1.el7_3.4.x86_64
 BROKEN => lvm2-2.02.171-4.el7.x86_64
