Yeah, it occured to me that this was probably the best opportunity I had to increase the PE-size. So I set it to 32MB, giving me a maximum LV-size of 2TB. BTW: What are the effects of choosing a large PE-size? Apart from getting larger LV's, of course? Does it effect performance or memory usage at all? -- Trond Michelsen _______________________________________________ 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/
