Hi. I'm using LVM on SuSE 8.1 As can be seen below, I cannot create a logical volume spanning physical volumes even if they are in the same volume group. I'm pretty sure I could do this in older versions of the LVM. wale:~ # pvscan pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hda5" of VG "vgdata" [11.60 GB / 3.16 GB free] pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hda6" of VG "vgdata" [21.71 GB / 3.24 GB free] pvscan -- total: 2 [33.31 GB] / in use: 2 [33.31 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0] wale:~ # lvcreate -ntest -L5G vgdata lvcreate -- not enough allocatable/free physical volume space in "vgdata" lvcreate -- please check, if physical volumes are allocatable Do I really have to use MD to overcome this problem? Shouldn't the LVM software take care of this? /Stefan _______________________________________________ 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/
