RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
The underlying volume the VDO is being created on is 10G.

[root@mckinley-04 ~]# lvs -a /dev/snapper_thinp/origin
  LV     VG            Attr       LSize  Pool Origin Data%  Meta%  Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert

# Shouldn't the created Logical size be either 20G, or a warning printed that the supplied 20G option wont work? 
[root@mckinley-04 ~]# vdo create --name virt_vdovolume --vdoLogicalSize 20G --device /dev/snapper_thinp/origin

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

This is actually a duplicate of BZ 1510558.  It's not a case of  the "--vdoLogicalSize" option being ignored, but the previous metadata is on disk, because the "vdoformat" command didn't actually run.
