Hi, I wonder if anybody can help me with this. I have created two volume groups, each with four 67GB SCSI drives. The total reported size is 267GB. I have also created a single logical volume on top of each of the two volume groups, and a single ext3 file system on each of the two logical volumes. Output of all utilities looks alright, except for 'df', which reports the following *odd* values: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on . . . . /dev/fe02_lvm_1/vol1 279834624 32828 274115896 1% /mnt/lvm1 /dev/fe02_lvm_2/vol1 279834624 32828 265587040 1% /mnt/lvm2 ------------------------------------------------------------------ the two volume groups are fe01_lvm_1 and fe02_lvm_2, the logical volumes are both called vol1. Notice - the size is reported correctly. The usage is reported correctly. However, the Available size is wrong on both of the file systems! I am also attaching output from vgdisplay, lvdisplay, ------------------------------------------------------------------ vgdisplay: ------------------------------------------------------------------ --- Volume group --- VG Name fe02_lvm_1 VG Access read/write VG Status available/resizable VG # 0 MAX LV 256 Cur LV 1 Open LV 1 MAX LV Size 2 TB Max PV 256 Cur PV 4 Act PV 4 VG Size 271.12 GB PE Size 32 MB Total PE 8676 Alloc PE / Size 8676 / 271.12 GB Free PE / Size 0 / 0 VG UUID kdkfM2-vQEg-Ppw1-O4r8-8dvc-matc-w680LA --- Volume group --- VG Name fe02_lvm_2 VG Access read/write VG Status available/resizable VG # 1 MAX LV 256 Cur LV 1 Open LV 1 MAX LV Size 2 TB Max PV 256 Cur PV 4 Act PV 4 VG Size 271.12 GB PE Size 32 MB Total PE 8676 Alloc PE / Size 8676 / 271.12 GB Free PE / Size 0 / 0 VG UUID nnD2OW-9J5w-BFvM-Qnpt-IN8v-NOnm-UMNWa5 ------------------------------------------------------------------ lvdisplay /dev/fe02_lvm_1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/fe02_lvm_1/vol1 VG Name fe02_lvm_1 LV Write Access read/write LV Status available LV # 1 # open 1 LV Size 271.12 GB Current LE 8676 Allocated LE 8676 Allocation next free Read ahead sectors 1024 Block device 58:0 ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ lvdisplay /dev/fe02_lvm_2 ------------------------------------------------------------------ --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/fe02_lvm_2/vol1 VG Name fe02_lvm_2 LV Write Access read/write LV Status available LV # 1 # open 1 LV Size 271.12 GB Current LE 8676 Allocated LE 8676 Allocation next free Read ahead sectors 1024 Block device 58:1 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Has anybody seen this alleged bug, or can anybody explain it? Thank you very much!
