Hi, I have a question regarding strange hard drive behaviour with an LVM volume. When I am creating the ext2 file system over my volume, the process takes much more time than expected, and the hard drive makes a strange noise, it sounds like its head is jumping back and forth all the time. I have the same noise when for example I make 'du' on the volume, or copy large amount of data. I dont have that harsh noise on other file systems. Otherwise everything seems to work fine. My configuration: I have two RAID arrays with hardware RAID controllers, so it is transparent to the kernel. I create a PV from the last partition of the first array, and an other PV with the whole second array. I add them to a VG with 32 M extent size, and create one logical volume of the whole VG. I dont use any stripping. I use the default parameters with mkfs too.
