Subject: [linux-lvm] metadata too large for circular buffer - any way to increase PV metadatasize?
Date: Thu, 07 Aug 2008 19:07:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1218132476.4013.10.camel@dogen.thepride.> (raw)
Hi,
I'm getting the dreaded "metadata too large for circular buffer" message
trying to create a new LV in a volume group of a few hundred other LVs.
As I understand, this is because the PVs don't have enough space for the
metadata. This size can be set to a larger value when pvcreating with
--metadatasize but I have obviously missed that boat :)
Is there a way to increase this with live PVs, rather than shifting all
the data off them and recreating and shifting back on?
I have a multinode RedHat Cluster with CLVMD and two PVs. I can add
additional PVs if that helps (though as I understand *every* PV needs
enough metadata space).
Thanks in advance!
John.
