Running this: lvreduce --test --resizefs -L4G foo/bar Will run both of these: fsadm check /dev/foo/bar fsadm resize /dev/foo/bar 4194304 Note that fsadm has an option for --dry-run but it isn't used!
Thanks for spotting and reporting this! Normally --test is safe because it prevents the program from issuing any writes. We need to add some new protection for fork/exec.
Default behaviour for exec_cmd() in test mode should be to print the command but not actually execute it. Then some exceptions can be made to that, such as if the command is fsadm, add '--dry-run', and MODPROBE_CMD is probably OK too. (The "fsadm" hard-coding should be removed too and replaced with a similar FSADM_CMD.)
support for --dry-run added by commit: https://www.redhat.com/archives/lvm-devel/2009-February/msg00147.html
