i'm sure there's a simple answer to this, but is there any compelling reason why there are three different commands in LVM2 for resizing a logical volume?
lvreduce # make smaller lvextend # make larger lvresize # resize
is there some pretty obvious redundancy here, or am i misreading the man pages?
All of the lvm2 commands are symlinks to a single binary. See:
$ ls -l /usr/sbin/lv*
Having several different commands allows for simpler, easier to remember commands for doing common tasks rather than having to remember one command with lots of complex options.
