I have just installed lvm on my debian testing server. I have finally managed to create a PV on a maxtor 120G disk, the 'pvcreate' command complained about a partitiontable being present even if there is no table there. --8<-- server:~# pvcreate --version pvcreate: Logical Volume Manager 1.0.4 Heinz Mauelshagen, Sistina Software 02/05/2002 (IOP 10) --8<-- I managed to get around that by using a v2 lvm command. Is there a bug in 1.0.x's pvcreate? I have also managed to create a VG a and a LV and that seems to work. I have formatted the LV with ext3 and now the strange thing is that lvscan reports: --8<-- server:~# lvscan lvscan -- ACTIVE "/dev/vg/lg" [114.49 GB] lvscan -- 1 logical volumes with 114.49 GB total in 1 volume group lvscan -- 1 active logical volumes --8<-- But when using the filesystem df reports: --8<-- Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hde1 123GB 121GB 2.4GB 99% /store /dev/vg/lg 122GB 121GB 0 100% /store2 --8<-- /dev/hde1 is also a 120G disk but with resierfs, ext3 takeing up more size is probably normal. But the actual size on the lvm is 122G and as you can see I can fit 121G on the disk, so why is lvscan reporting ~115G? Can i safetly use my lvm setup without running the risk of losing data?
