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.

Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Change: Two new options were added to the kickstart volgroup command to specify initially unused space in megabytes or as a percentage of the total volume group size. These options are only valid for volume groups being created during installation. Result: Users can effectively reserve space in a new volume group for snapshots while still using the --grow option for logical volumes within the same volume group.

Comment 2 Alexander Todorov 2012-04-04 11:33:15 UTC 
On 8GiB disk image I did:

clearpart --all --initlabel
part /boot --fstype=ext4 --size=500
part pv.253002 --grow --size=1
volgroup vg_root --pesize=1024 --reserved-space=2048 pv.253002
logvol / --fstype=ext4 --name=lv_root --vgname=vg_root --grow --size=1024
logvol swap --name=lv_swap --vgname=vg_root --size=1024


# vgs
  VG      #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize VFree
  vg_root   1   2   0 wz--n- 7,51g 2,00g


# vgdisplay vg_root | grep Size
  VG Size               7,51 GiB
  PE Size               1,00 MiB
  Alloc PE / Size       5642 / 5,51 GiB
  Free  PE / Size       2048 / 2,00 GiB

# lvs
  LV      VG      Attr     LSize Pool Origin Data%  Move Log Copy%  Convert
  lv_root vg_root -wi-ao-- 4,51g                                           
  lv_swap vg_root -wi-ao-- 1,00g 



Sizes match expectations. 


Then I did:

clearpart --all --initlabel
part /boot --fstype=ext4 --size=500
part pv.253002 --grow --size=1
volgroup vg_root --pesize=1024 --reserved-percent=10 pv.253002
logvol / --fstype=ext4 --name=lv_root --vgname=vg_root --grow --size=1024
logvol swap --name=lv_swap --vgname=vg_root --size=1024


# vgs
  VG      #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize VFree  
  vg_root   1   2   0 wz--n- 7,51g 769,00m

# vgdisplay vg_root | grep Size
  VG Size               7,51 GiB
  PE Size               1,00 MiB
  Alloc PE / Size       6921 / 6,76 GiB
  Free  PE / Size       769 / 769,00 MiB

# lvs
  LV      VG      Attr     LSize Pool Origin Data%  Move Log Copy%  Convert
  lv_root vg_root -wi-ao-- 5,76g                                           
  lv_swap vg_root -wi-ao-- 1,00g
