Why would I receive this error if there is no Max limit on the number of physical volumes. LVM version: 2.00.15 (2004-04-19) Library version: 1.00.19-ioctl (2004-07-03) Driver version: 4.3.0 Has this been corrected in a later version or do I need to specify the MAX PHYSICAL VOLUMES as 0? I understand that I can just adjust to 255 or less, but this is a script that recreates a volume group based on previous settings. The original VG had MAX PHYSICAL VOLUMES set to 256, yet I am unable to recreate it with the same values. Thanks David
