I don't think it's *supposed* to be doing that. Have you confirmed this by examining the actual contents of the disks? If you have 18 extents (PEs) with 6 on each disk numbered: disk1: 0 1 2 3 4 5 disk2: 6 7 8 9 10 11 disk3: 12 13 14 15 16 17 and the stripesize is 64k, I think it should write the first 64k of the LV to disk1 (PE 0), the second 64k to the start of disk2 (PE 6) the third 64k to the start of disk3 (PE 12) and then the fourth 64k to PE 0 again etc. Alasdair -- agk@uk.sistina.com _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
