Unfortunately, that didn't work. cluster6 root # lvcreate -Cn -i4 -I16 -l3560 -nstorage group Insufficient allocatable extents suitable for parallel use for logical volume storage: 3560 required cluster6 root # lvcreate -i4 -I16 -l3560 -nstorage group Insufficient allocatable extents suitable for parallel use for logical volume storage: 3560 required Any other suggestions?
