I have a existing VG with 2 80GB disks containing one 160GB LV. I added a additional 80GB disk and wanted to extend the LV. But that didn't work. seven:/ # pvdisplay /dev/hdf1 --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/hdf1 VG Name NVolGroup PV Size 76.34 GB / NOT usable 3.22 MB [LVM: 306 KB] PV# 3 PV Status available Allocatable yes Cur LV 0 PE Size (KByte) 4096 Total PE 19541 Free PE 19541 Allocated PE 0 PV UUID o593Dd-Uo4Z-Hv1Z-yTI0-QtYy-p0Wq-a4XL3q seven:/ # vgdisplay --- Volume group --- VG Name NVolGroup VG Access read/write VG Status available/resizable VG # 0 MAX LV 256 Cur LV 1 Open LV 1 MAX LV Size 255.99 GB Max PV 256 Cur PV 3 Act PV 3 VG Size 229 GB PE Size 4 MB Total PE 58623 Alloc PE / Size 39082 / 152.66 GB Free PE / Size 19541 / 76.33 GB VG UUID lHyDca-e7yA-4Rkt-keGF-uJHY-YCRk-3qqw7N seven:/ # lvdisplay /dev/NVolGroup/nVol --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/NVolGroup/nVol VG Name NVolGroup LV Write Access read/write LV Status available LV # 1 # open 1 LV Size 152.66 GB Current LE 39082 Allocated LE 39082 Stripes 2 Stripe size (KByte) 16 Allocation next free Read ahead sectors 120 Block device 58:0 If I try to extend the LV with: lvextend -L+78164M /dev/NVolGroup/nVol then I get: lvextend -- rounding size 240119808 KB to stripe boundary size 240123904 KB lvextend -- only 19541 free physical extents in volume group "NVolGroup" Next try with: lvextend -l+19541 /dev/NVolGroup/nVol lvextend -- rounding size 240119808 KB to stripe boundary size 240123904 KB lvextend -- only 19541 free physical extents in volume group "NVolGroup" Where is the error?
