[dm-devel] lvconvert leaves devices unsynced and unpolled?

[Greg Stark]

Is this list the right place to report LVM bugs? I know dm is not LVM
but I'm not clear whether there's a separate reporting channel.

I've used lvconvert a few times to do --replace and also -m to add
addtional raid mirrors. And now I'm left with some drives 0% synced.
The 0% doesn't seem to be increasing. Doing lvchange --poll y on these
volumes doesn't cause anything to happen either. Is this normal? Is
this just some missing feedback and the sync is happening (it doesn't
sound like it listening to the drives) or is there some incantation I
should do to get the sync to happen? I even tried lvchange --resync on
one of the volumes and I didn't see any progress.
