Hi All, I'm a newbie to LVM so please bear with me. I've created 2 LVM's before, but am stuck on the 3rd one. I'm trying to create a striped volume with 2 IDE disks. I've created the VG, but the LV wont go. --- Volume group --- VG Name storage VG Access read/write VG Status available/resizable VG # 1 MAX LV 256 Cur LV 0 Open LV 0 MAX LV Size 2 TB Max PV 256 Cur PV 2 Act PV 2 VG Size 111.72 GB PE Size 32 MB Total PE 3575 Alloc PE / Size 0 / 0 Free PE / Size 3575 / 111.72 GB VG UUID LYZMgA-IqDg-aJ9K-wFRY-80Uv-TUFQ-KFxgkb (/)# lvcreate -i2 -I4 -l3575 -nvolume1 storage lvcreate -- rounding to stripe boundary size lvcreate -- only 3575 free physical extents in volume group "storage" I've also tried. (/)# lvcreate -i2 -I4 -L111G -nvolume1 storage lvcreate -- not enough allocatable/free physical volume space in "storage" lvcreate -- please check, if physical volumes are allocatable With no luck. How can I create an LV that fills the entire VG?
