I have 154 disks. 136 of them are 36GB 18 are 73Gb I made two partitions on all these disks. First partitions is 31Gb rest of the space is second partition. I am trying to create one big logical volume group of 1.1TB on the second partition on all the disks. Here is the script I used to create volume group vgcreate volgroup1 /dev/sdb2......................./dev/sdey (154 disks) lvcreate -i 154 -I 16 -L 1100G -n lv01 volgroup18 Failed and the got the following message. Number of stripes (154) must be between 1 and 128. The I changed number of stripes to 128 ran the script like this lvcreate -i 154 -I 16 -L 1100G -n lv01 volgroup18 Rounding size (17600 extents) up to stripe boundary size (17664 extents) Insufficient allocatable extents suitable for parallel use for logical volume lv01: 17664 required Here is how vgdisplay shows. Somebody please help. I am new to LINUX.
