first, I'm sorry for asking here, but I'm close enough on topic (I hope :) and I know there are bright heads who deal with linux at this level out there. I've also looked through google, and at the kernel IDE-documentation. and the little thing that lingers is 128GiB. fdisk is only able to address 128GiB, that's rather obvious. if I make one partition, it's about that size, and if I make two partitions, the first one 100GiB, the last one will only be about 28GiB. if I pvcreate the device itself it helps a little, but not much. /proc/lvm/global then returns the size as 134152192KB. now, I've added SCSI-devices that where > 500GiB with ease into LVM, but here I stumble. is there some easy solution out there that I've missed? the box currently runs vanilla 2.4.16, only patched with LVM-1.0.1 from 26/11. patches or anything people want to toss at this will be highly appreciated. we have two of these beasts from Maxtor, and stand to loose about 60GiB of space, which isn't all that neat. -- Terje _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html
