As you realised, you need to recreate the PV with a much larger metadatasize. There are no tools yet to manipulate it after it's been created. If you can throw it away, do that: vgchange -an to deactivate everything then pvremove -ff to destroy it. [If you weren't able to do that, there are workarounds involving making lvm2 stop using that metadata area and using a new larger one somewhere else instead.] Alasdair -- agk@redhat.com _______________________________________________ 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/
