Public bug reported: After shrinking the physical volume inside a partition, the disk utility shows the old (larger) for the partition. Pvdisplay on the CLI shows the correct size. I expect the physical volume to show it's real size (200G), not the size of the partition (215G).
To reproduce: create a physical volume on a partition. Shrink the physical volume but leave the partition's size untouched. ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.10 Release: 11.10 ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ dpkg --list gnome-disk-utility Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==========================-==========================-==================================================================== ii gnome-disk-utility 3.0.2-1ubuntu2 manage and configure disk drives and media ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: gnome-disk-utility 3.0.2-1ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic i686 ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu3 Architecture: i386 CasperVersion: 1.287 Date: Mon Oct 31 08:32:25 2011 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/palimpsest LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release i386 (20111012) ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-disk-utility UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: gnome-disk-utility (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug apport-lpi i386 oneiric running-unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/884114 Title: partition size shown in stead of physical volume size To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-disk-utility/+bug/884114/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
