Description Alasdair Kergon 2012-04-20 19:17:54 UTC 
To avoid the metadata device running out of free space, userspace needs to be able to extend it.  This should be done 'live' without interrupting access to the devices.
Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2012-05-03 05:22:13 UTC 
Since RHEL 6.3 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 08:25:31 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 23:36:40 UTC 
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
Comment 7 Joe Thornber 2015-10-16 16:02:50 UTC 
We've had this feature for a long time.
