Yes, that's exactly the intended bahaviour. if you have n (e.g. 2 or
more) PV than a striped LV is splitted between this n PV. This can
increase performance (like RIAD0 does) but it may backfire, if your PV
are on the same reald device.
If you want to use striped LVs, only use one PV per real device.
e.g.: 4 HDDs of 40GB each (sda, sdb, sdc, sdd)
you boot from sda and decide to have a 512MB root/boot partition for
this. Than make 3 swap partitiones on sdb, sdc and sdd.
on each device make a seccond partition with the rest of the space.
create a PV out of each of this 4 partitions.
you now have:
sda: sda1 512MB root/boot
sda2 39.5GB PV1
sdb: sdb1 512MB swap
sdb2 39.5GB PV2
sdc: sdc1 512MB swap
sdc2 39.5GB PV3
sdd: sdd1 512MB swap
sdd2 39.5GB PV4
VG1: 118.0GB PV1 PV2 PV3 PV4
if you now make a striped LV of 20GB it will use 5GB on each PV and the
stripes will be read from PV1 PV2 PV3 PV4 PV1 PV2 PV3 PV4 ...
BTW: if you write your question in english a lot more people will be
able to send you a reply.
PS: und wenn Du willst kann ich Dir das ganze gerne nochmal auf Deutsch
schicken.
