right?
Or it does?
From man pages my understanding is - it does not, an expression "the
extension" is used there.

If I have a LV with 2 stripes and 64KiB stripesizes, then adding two more
stripes, like this:

$ lvextend h300Int1/0 -i 2 -I 16 /dev/sd3 /dev/sd4 (if it was to succeed)

will change the LV into 4 stripes LV, but what would happened to stripesize(s)?


Hi

At this moment lvm2 supports extension only of the same types. So extended/added segment will have some 'geometry' as the last/previous segment of your extended LV.

So if you do not add any 'striping' parameters - they will be automatically detected from LV, if you add them - they will be compared and in case of mismatch operation will be rejected.

Also if the allocation policy and free space in VG allows - extension will try first to extend existing segment before allocating new space somewhere else in VG.

now actually trying in practice:
an VG(just extended by /dev/sdf):

--- Physical volumes ---
  PV Name               /dev/sdd
  PV UUID               j0tyRo-k0EV-uvXv-8F3K-fQpc-LcyE-twIZs1
  PV Status             allocatable
  Total PE / Free PE    250390 / 0

  PV Name               /dev/sde
  PV UUID               jF0NlQ-Q4zd-zWr2-s0nb-kBzc-SmYj-SrgOnW
  PV Status             allocatable
  Total PE / Free PE    250390 / 0

  PV Name               /dev/sdc
  PV UUID               NoxH5O-6nvb-thAR-cHM6-VRTJ-gJyn-HK7y0c
  PV Status             allocatable
  Total PE / Free PE    250390 / 0

  PV Name               /dev/sdf
  PV UUID               27jeEj-frTR-wVQB-7Sg5-MZ6g-1eSV-RQuU8a
  PV Status             allocatable
  Total PE / Free PE    250390 / 250390

all these fail:
$ lvextend -v -i 4 -l+100%free dellH200.InternalB/0
$ lvextend -v -i 4 -l+100%pv dellH200.InternalB/0 /dev/sdf
$ lvextend -i 4 -l 100%vg dellH200.InternalB/0

is there a problem?
