I am not sure if this is a bug or my stupid error. I am using lvm-1.0.3-13, which come from Fedora core 1. I created a lvol1 with size -L 2000M. then # lvdisplay /dev/vg1/lvol1 --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/vg1/lvol1 VG Name vg1 LV Write Access read/write LV Status available LV # 1 # open 0 LV Size 1.95 GB Current LE 500 Allocated LE 500 Allocation next free Read ahead sectors 1024 Block device 58:0 # lvdisplay -c /dev/vg1/lvol1 /dev/vg1/lvol1:vg1:3:1:0:0:4096000:500:500:0:1024:58:0 here i found that its size is 4096000. base on the document of lvdiskplay, this should be in KB unit. so two output from lvdisplay is mismatched. can anybody tell me why? ming -- -------------------------------------------------- | Ming Zhang, PhD.
