And if you have problems making space in the metadata to add the PV to it, a workaround is to temporarily use in-filesystem metadata: create a metadata dir in a local filesystem (NOT an LV), and place an up-to-date backup copy of the metadata there (from vgcfgbackup) update lvm.conf to start using this metadata (metadata/dirs) - use verbose display options to check it's doing this pvcreate as in my last message to remove the too-small metadata area - you're now relying entirely on the in-filesystem metadata add the new PVs to the VG as before revert the lvm.conf change 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/
