The -l option is the final size of the LV, not the space used on each device for each stripe or mirror. So when you say -l 8, it means the LV has 8 usable extents, so it is supposed to be 32MiB. It doesn't matter how many stripes or mirrors you have. -- Douglas Paul _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
