If it's a known issue, just keep the bz open for tracking. Currently only the upsize is supported, and support for pool reduction is not yet in plan, more important features will go first... This one is long in the future - it's not seen as very important, in the same way that various filesystems don't support online shrinking. An offline tool might be produced first, we'll see.

I have re-considered this issue. thin pool downsize is IMPORTANT since its blocks is allocated when creating it. that can release the unused blocks to other thick volumes. for example, i have VG created on 2 * 10G disks and create a 9G stripe thin pool. then i want to create a 2G mirror LV(since thin pool doesn't support mirror). I have to reduce the thin pool to 8G so that i have the enough space to create the mirror LV. This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. Is this still true in Fedora 34? If so, can we have this ticket reopened and the Version: set appropriately? |
