Thanks. I guess I have just always used a PE size or the default and the PV size was just the right size, because this was the first time I had seen this. This was on a customer's system that was connected to a SAN. ---- Jack Allen -----Original Message----- From: linux-lvm-bounces@redhat.com [mailto:linux-lvm-bounces@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Francois Cami Sent: Monday, January 26, 2009 5:34 PM To: LVM general discussion and development Subject: Re: Why is part of a PV not usable? Hi Jack, Your PE size is 4096KB and your PV's size is 2559x4096KB+3.98 MB. In other words, your PV's size is not an exact multiple of the PE size and all you lose is always less than the PE.
