Description 27jf 2023-02-01 00:43:30 UTC

Description of problem: lvreduce is a very nice convenience combination, but especially when it comes to running resize2fs, progress info would be very helpful, as it an take hours.
I propose even enabling this by default with a flag to turn it off.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.03.18 (for some reason not selectable above...)

Could you edit /usr/libexec/lvresize_fs_helper, add -p to the resize2fs commands:

-               resize2fs "$DEVPATH"
+               resize2fs -p "$DEVPATH"

-               resize2fs "$DEVPATH" "$NEWSIZEKB"k
+               resize2fs -p "$DEVPATH" "$NEWSIZEKB"k


and let us know how that works?
