+Subject: [PATCH] Fix LVM2 PV shrinking with lvm2 2.02.171 and later (#1)
+
+Shrinking an LVM2 Physical Volume on CentOS 7 with the latest
+lvm2 2.02.177 fails like this:
+
+  Shrink /dev/sda9 from 1.00 GiB to 768.00 MiB
+  * calibrate /dev/sda9
+  * check file system on /dev/sda9 for errors and (if possib...(SUCCESS)
+  * shrink file system                                         (ERROR)
+    * lvm pvresize -v --setphysicalvolumesize 786432K '/dev/...(ERROR)
+        0 physical volume(s) resized / 1 physical volume(s) not resized
+
+        Wiping internal VG cache
+        Wiping cache of LVM-capable devices
+        /dev/sda9: Requested size 712.00 MiB is less than real size 1.00 GiB.  Proceed? [y/n]:[n]
+        Physical Volume /dev/sda9 not resized.
+
+This upstream change to lvm2 [1] makes pvresize prompt for confirmation
+whenever the --setphysicalvolumesize option is used.  (The change was
+included in lvm2 2.02.171 and later, which is used in recent
+distributions.  The reporter found the issue on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and I
+reproduced the issue on RHEL/CentOS 7.5).  The set size option has to be
+used when shrinking the PV before shrinking the partition therefore fix
+this issue by adding lvm common option --yes when using the set size
+option.

+    pvresize: Prompt when non-default size supplied.
+
+Closes #1 - Can't shrink LVM partition due to pvresize prompt
