 Version 2.02.172 - 
 ===============================
+  Fix lvcreate extent percentage calculation for mirrors.
   Don't reinstate still-missing devices when correcting inconsistent metadata.
   Properly handle subshell return codes in fsadm.
   Disallow cachepool creation with policy cleaner and mode writeback.
