[linux-lvm] LV resizing problems

[Andres Salomon]

Total PE              28208
Alloc PE / Size       28208 / 440.75 GB
Free  PE / Size       0 / 0

They're all allocated to that LV.  They're definitely there, and
lvdisplay agrees w/ me there..

Looks like either a bug in e2fsadm, or a typo in the manpage (using the
debian unstable package).  e2fsadm -l+9769 works; -l 28208 doesn't.
