Hi, I am in the process of installin Linux 8.0, and I have downloaded and compiled lvm version 1.0, I patched the kernel, compiled it, etc. So everything semes to work, except for one thing: lvreduce somehow damages the whole volume group in a way that it becomes inconsistent. Everything else seems to work fine, so I really cannot understand why it is happening. The whole message of lvreduce seems to be strange a bit: when I am redicing an LV when it is enabled then it askes for confirmation, but when I disabled it just to see what happens, it wrote me that since it is not active I cannot reduce it. I am completely aware to the fact that first I have to resize the FS inside, but it is not the question, as resize2fs seems to work pefectly well. Somehow my feeling is that something is wroking with the consistency checking mechanism. I would really apprecaite if you could advise me about it. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance, Gabor Lukacs
