Thin pool volume with chunk size 8.00 MiB can address at most <1.98 PiB of data. /dev/mapper/vgds2-thinpool2_tmeta: open failed: No such file or directory Failed to activate new LV. any idea what I should try next? gargamel:~# vgdisplay --- Volume group --- VG Name vgds2 System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 1 Metadata Sequence No 32 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 0 Cur LV 0 Open LV 0 Max PV 0 Cur PV 1 Act PV 1 VG Size 14.55 TiB PE Size 4.00 MiB Total PE 3815316 Alloc PE / Size 0 / 0 Free PE / Size 3815316 / 14.55 TiB VG UUID pc1cTH-kFo7-g0Kz-dELp-j51s-1yOO-v20WIV gargamel:~# lvdisplay gargamel:~# Thanks, Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.
