OK, I'm on lvm .25 and device mapper .19. I removed the newest LV in that PV, then rebooted. Everything looked right, and the metadata backup was as I expected. However using lvcreate again to create a sufficiently large LV (large enough to fill this PV plus a bit more) recreated the original problem in pvdisplay's output. > (With lvm1 on-disk format, may need to backup restore/metadata if it's > wrong on disk.) The following values all seem to be consistent: * pvdisplay 'Total PE' * pe_count in /etc/lvm/backup/ * the total of the relevant 'extent_count' fields in /etc/lvm/backup/ But the value reported by pvdisplay 'Allocated PE' is too large. Where does pvdisplay get that value from? Do I need to worry about data corruption, or could this be just a display formatting bug? _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
