Hi, I'm unable to create a new LV on an existing VG with LVs. I'm on uname -rm 3.19.3-1.gf10e7fc-default x86_64 lvm version LVM version: 2.02.98(2) (2012-10-15) Library version: 1.03.01 (2011-10-15) Driver version: 4.29.0 I have a VG with lots ov available space vgs VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree VG0 1 7 0 wz--n- 930.19g 855.19g It's already got LVs on it lvs LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert LV_ROOT VG0 -wi-ao--- 20.00g LV_HOME VG0 -wi-ao--- 40.00g LV_SWAP VG0 -wi-ao--- 2.00g ...

I just can't create new LVs anymore. Any suggestions at to problem & fix?
