Meanwhile: Some data to give you the feel of things: [jmmpelto@pcn1 ~]$ time sudo service clvmd restart Deactivating VG mappi-primary: 0 logical volume(s) in volume group "mappi-primary" now active [ OK ] Stopping clvm: [ OK ] Starting clvmd: [ OK ] Activating VGs: 2 logical volume(s) in volume group "main" now active 78 logical volume(s) in volume group "mappi-primary" now active [ OK ] real 4m40.448s user 0m0.662s sys 0m0.299s [jmmpelto@pcn1 ~]$ time sudo vgextend mappi-primary $(for LETTER in {i..r}; do echo /dev/sd${LETTER}1; done) Password: Volume group "mappi-primary" successfully extended real 0m7.534s user 0m0.197s sys 0m0.112s [jmmpelto@pcn1 ~]$ time sudo service clvmd restart Deactivating VG mappi-primary: 0 logical volume(s) in volume group "mappi-primary" now active [ OK ] Stopping clvm: [ OK ] Starting clvmd: [ OK ] Activating VGs: 2 logical volume(s) in volume group "main" now active 78 logical volume(s) in volume group "mappi-primary" now active [ OK ] real 43m17.340s user 0m2.473s sys 0m0.528s Adding ten PV's increased the deactivation-activation-cycle time tenfold.
