Hi Klaus, Looks like you didn't read the mail :-(. Paul has already added hdd1 as a PV to the ide_disks VG: > >>> --- Physical volume --- >>> PV Name /dev/hdd1 >>> VG Name ide_disks <------------------ >>> PV Size 149.03 GB / not usable 0 >>> Allocatable yes >>> PE Size (KByte) 4096 >>> Total PE 38152 >>> Free PE 38152 >>> Allocated PE 0 >>> PV UUID XxOREs-3k4B-jhky-lhGD-zQx5-xhE3-HPqG0L The problem here is that the LV is using striped allocation across 3 PVs: > root@backup:~# lvextend --size +149G -t /dev/ide_disks/bacula > Test mode: Metadata will NOT be updated. > Incorrect metadata area header checksum > Using stripesize of last segment 4KB > Rounding size (147200 extents) down to stripe boundary size for segment > (147198 extents) > Extending logical volume bacula to 574.99 GB > Insufficient allocatable extents suitable for parallel use for logical > volume bacula: 147198 required So, in order to extend it and maintain that allocation, you need to have 3 PVs with sufficient space to allocate three parallel stripes.
