This is automatically generated email about problems in a man page for which
you appear to be responsible.  If you are not the right person or list, tell
me and I will attempt to correct my database.

See http://catb.org/~esr/doclifter/problems.html for details on how and
why these patches were generated.  Feel free to email me with any questions.

Note: This patch does not change the mod date of the manual page.  You
may wish to do that by hand.

Problems with lvcreate.8:

1. Unbalanced option group in command synopis, You probably forgot
to open or close a [ ] group properly.

Problems with lvreduce.8:

1. Unknown or invalid macro.  That is, one that does not fit in the
macro set that the man page seems to be using.  This is a serious
error; it often means part of your text is being lost or rendered
incorrectly.

 command to both resize the filesystem and the logical volume together.

 Shrinking snapshot logical volumes (see
 .B lvcreate(8)
