Estienne,
thanks for pointing the man page flaw out.
It is fixed in CVS at www.sistina.com now.
IRT your size related question: in case you use an older LVM version,
there was some bugs related to the > 1TB support for LVs.
If you upgrade to 1.0.3 those should be gone.
Regards,
Heinz -- The LVM Guy --
