Here is what Alasdair said: Q: /dev/md1: too many metadata areas for pvresize That's meant to be saying you chose to place a second copy of the metadata at the end of the device and if you want to increase the size of the data area you have to shift that metadata first and there is no code that does that. Workaround is to reduce to 1 metadata area first (backup VG, redo pvcreate with uuid & restorefile, restore VG), then extend, then put the 2nd metadata area back (same process) if you still want it. Hope that helps! --Malahal. _______________________________________________ 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/
