    New option was added to chvg command to sync only allocated blocks of the filesystem

    chvg:
    -j y | n If the Enhanced Journaled File System (JFS2) is mounted, the resync operation of the logical volume manager (LVM) resynchronizes the blocks that are allocated only by the JFS2. You can specify the following values for this flag:

    y
    Resynchronizes the blocks that are allocated only by the JFS2.
    n
    Resynchronizes all of the blocks regardless of the JFS2 block allocations. This is the default value.
