Hi all. I wasn't thinking straight, and over allocated space on one of my volume groups using lvm2. Running vgdisplay for this volume group shows: --- Volume group --- VG Name vgcrypt1 System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 1 Metadata Sequence No 14 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 0 Cur LV 4 Open LV 1 Max PV 0 Cur PV 1 Act PV 1 VG Size 61.00 GiB PE Size 4.00 MiB Total PE 15615 Alloc PE / Size 8061 / 31.49 GiB Free PE / Size 7554 / 29.51 GiB VG UUID ZT4MX0-HiN0-PiHF-Ig89-hzFq-HigY-j1KVKj When I do either vgchange -s 32g /dev/vgcrypt1, or vgchange -s 32767m /dev/vgcrypt1, I get: New extent size is not a perfect fit Run `vgchange --help' for more information. I ran vgchange --help like it suggests, but didn't see anything there pertaining to this, same for the vgchange(8) and lvm(8) man pages. The used space is a bit over 31g, and I want to shrink it to 32g in size, what the heck? I googled that message, but got more questions along the same lines, and no answers. Does anyone know why it's not a perfect fit, and more important, how I can shrink the volume group? Thanks in advance.
