Makes sense! The only reason that I was confused was why 3 of my PV's say "yes (but full)" and the other three not. How does one explain that? 1.63x3=4.89 still less than 8.6.

Food based analogies are always good! :) Giorgio: The vgs output is exactly as you say: [root@eustorage ~]# vgs VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree euclid_highperf_storage 6 3 0 wz--n- 9.80T 1.22T -- Rahul _______________________________________________ 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/
