Subject: vgcreate and vgextend dont use the maximum space on PV
Date: Tue, 01 Apr 2014 15:51:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d9da196656b8dec2df56a01ac8ea938c@broermann.com> (raw)

Hello ,

I try to migrate mirror an LogicalVolumes from one disk to the other.
The disks are identical.

/dev/emcpowerd     52313  myvg
/dev/emcpowereh    52313

emcpowerd shows 512K unusable.

rhel6.3# pvdisplay /dev/emcpowerd
   --- Physical volume ---
   PV Name               /dev/emcpowerd
   VG Name               myvg
   PV Size               51,09 GiB / not usable 512,00 KiB
   Allocatable           yes (but full)
   PE Size               4,00 MiB
   Total PE              13078
   Free PE               0
   Allocated PE          13078
   PV UUID               GyMBL2-v84W-719F-069j-Mga6-6tSe-c9fP2D

when extending ( even creating ) the VG, the new PV show one less PE and 
4,5 MiB .
rhel6.3# vgextend myvg /dev/emcpowereh

rhel6.3# pvdisplay /dev/emcpowereh
   --- Physical volume ---
   PV Name               /dev/emcpowereh
   VG Name               myvg
   PV Size               51,09 GiB / not usable 4,50 MiB
   Allocatable           yes
   PE Size               4,00 MiB
   Total PE              13077
   Free PE               13077
   Allocated PE          0
   PV UUID               p6VT4i-Q98Y-MbfP-WHFi-V01B-Ohcy-yRv83D


So 13077 PE are less then 13878 PEs and mirroring fails.
Note: the emcpower devices are SAN Devices and /dev/emcpowerd was  
created under RHEL5

How can I allocate the full disk ?

Thank you
Bernd
