I converted my meta data to LVM2 : #vgdisplay --- Volume group --- VG Name main System ID PV_IMPTuX1061637595 Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 2 Metadata Sequence No 1 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 256 Cur LV 3 Open LV 3 Max PV 256 Cur PV 2 Act PV 2 VG Size 49.41 GB PE Size 32.00 MB Total PE 1581 Alloc PE / Size 1256 / 39.25 GB Free PE / Size 325 / 10.16 GB VG UUID 3PL6Zl-KtFh-pOqH-ntf5-C5td-SPxt-uUFZqJ #pvdisplay Physical volume "/dev/hda5" of volume group "main" is exported --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/hda5 VG Name main (exported) PV Size 31.25 GB / not usable 0 Allocatable yes (but full) PE Size (KByte) 32768 Total PE 1000 Free PE 0 Allocated PE 1000 PV UUID Kyk15O-llcC-IVcO-VnhM-gDbZ-DlPd-UXABpn Physical volume "/dev/hdb5" of volume group "main" is exported --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/hdb5 VG Name main (exported) PV Size 18.16 GB / not usable 0 Allocatable yes PE Size (KByte) 32768 Total PE 581 Free PE 325 Allocated PE 256 PV UUID ELffaP-gavW-bMJA-Nx6K-qFqi-eDsk-Pwq3jL But is still not work : #lvcreate -i2 -I4 -L1G -n main/lv_usr Insufficient allocatable extents suitable for striping for logical volume lv_usr: 32 required How can I move one logical volume from /dev/hda5 to /dev/hdb5 ?
