Trying to understand format of LVM2 - Question on Extent Size

["David F." <df7729@xxxxxxxxx>]

I created a test lvm on a 32G UFD with two logical volumes, 15G and 14G.  I then looked at the on disk data and most makes since except the extent_count vs extent_size.   In this case the extent_size is 8192, and it says the extent sizes are 3840 and 3584, but that * 8192 is double its actual size.   * 4096 then it is the size.  So how does that work.  TIA!!  Here's the sample:

test_lvm {
id = "xhewgS-UxVF-4qC5-MGXp-ErfX-6SNl-UkCdgz"
seqno = 3
format = "lvm2"
status = ["RESIZEABLE", "READ", "WRITE"]
flags = []
extent_size = 8192
max_lv = 0
max_pv = 0
metadata_copies = 0

physical_volumes {

pv0 {
id = "XhEzob-g2D5-YcGp-zfz9-39R7-HII6-SITlH9"
device = "/dev/sdc"

status = ["ALLOCATABLE"]
flags = []
dev_size = 62531584
pe_start = 2048
pe_count = 7633
}
}

logical_volumes {

lvm_logvol {
id = "IIKGTj-2eYn-5iTk-7KZd-ZMzS-aqYT-kwNgko"
status = ["READ", "WRITE", "VISIBLE"]
flags = []
creation_time = 1532609310
creation_host = "localhost.localdomain"
segment_count = 1

segment1 {
start_extent = 0
extent_count = 3840

type = "striped"
stripe_count = 1

stripes = [
"pv0", 0
]
}
}

lvm_logvol2 {
id = "dC9wIq-kJ3I-ixLV-A2f9-889Y-qpUr-DdfciL"
status = ["READ", "WRITE", "VISIBLE"]
flags = []
creation_time = 1532609325
creation_host = "localhost.localdomain"
segment_count = 1

segment1 {
start_extent = 0
extent_count = 3584

type = "striped"
stripe_count = 1

stripes = [
"pv0", 3840
]
}
}
}

}
