This is rather odd. The partition is actually 2047 GB (full size of the disk), but pvdisplay reports the PV Size as 1024.00 GB. Another oddity is if you take the PE Size and multiply it by the Total PE, then it comes out as the correct 2047 GB. It seems like something I could safely ignore, but this is going to be a critical production server and I would like to hear from more experiences persons if I should be concerned about this: --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sde1 VG Name vg-samba-data1 PV Size 1024.00 GB / not usable 8192.00 EB Allocatable yes PE Size (KByte) 4096 Total PE 524030 Free PE 524030 Allocated PE 0 PV UUID e3ubYN-DZtL-Ee1M-yaNC-mRif-KVB6-166mVR Here is the version of lvm2 installed on RedHat EL 5: [brazen@server2 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep lvm lvm2-2.02.16-3.el5 thanks, James Dinkel _______________________________________________ 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/
