Re: [linux-lvm] can i extend a volumen bigger 256 gigas ?thx

Yes, it is possible. What's the command you're using and the error 
you get? The maximum size of a logical volume is a function of the 
volume group physical extent size (I don't remember the details). 
You may need to create the volume group with a larger physical 
extent in order to have larger capacity logical volumes, for 
instance, 'vgcreate -s 16m ...'. As far as I know, you do have to 
recreate the volume group in order to change the physical extent 
size. Hope this helps.
