Let's say I have a 500GB logical volume:
# lvs | grep san2_data
san2_data san1 -wi-a- 500.00G
fdisk will report a bigger number:
# fdisk -l /dev/san1/san2_data
Disk /dev/san1/san2_data: 536.8 GB, 536870912000 bytes
Now, if fdisk -l would report 100 GB for some partition/disk/volume, a
volume of which size should I create with "lvcreate" when I want to copy
data from that partition/disk/volume to a new logical volume?
I wouldn't like to waste several gigabytes of space (this would happen
if I create a 100G volume with lvcreate), perhaps there is some magic
formula?
