Hi again


Yep bug on lvm2 size - fix has been upstreamed by this commit:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/lvm-devel/2016-February/msg00005.html


There is also some ongoing work on better lvresize support for more then 1 
single LV. This will also implement better approach to resize of lvmetad which 
is using different mechanism in kernel.

Lvm2 will try to follow the users wish but also be complaint with kernel 
policy for free space in metadata device.
