Hello, I find that it will fail to create a thin pool with all the free PE in VG as follows: # pvs PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/sdb lvm2 --- 200.00g 200.00g # vgcreate vgtest /dev/sdb Volume group "vgtest" successfully created # pvdisplay --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sdb VG Name vgtest PV Size 200.00 GiB / not usable 32.00 MiB Allocatable yes PE Size 4.00 MiB Total PE 51192 Free PE 51192 Allocated PE 0 PV UUID JD74c2-R4zZ-cgs5-c5Ty-1abQ-cf7l-gdSxzz # lvcreate -l 51192 --thinpool thinpool0 vgtest Volume group "vgtest" has insufficient free space (51167 extents): 51192 required. while it works when specifying '-l' this way: # lvcreate -l 100%FREE --thinpool thinpool0 vgtest Logical volume "thinpool0" created. Is this something by design? or something may be wrong? I can replicate this on both: CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core) lvm2-2.02.166-1.el7.x86_64 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP2 lvm2-2.02.120-72.8.x86_64 Thanks, Eric _______________________________________________ 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/
