I have added five ide-drives to my volume group. 5 x 80 gb. I have created the VG with PE size 8 mb witch gives me a max logical volume size 512 gb. My first problem starts when i try to use the whole volume group size as one logical volume. I got 364 gb free, but i can't use more PEs than 320 gb in one LV. Rest of the space is just unusable unallcated space. I don't understand this. So i created a 5 disks striped logical volume (lvcreate -i5 -I4 -L320G -nlv01 vg01 /dev/hda5 /dev/hde1 /dev/hdf1 /dev/hdg1 /dev/hdh1) The logical volume looks nice with lvdisplay but when i try to put a filesystem on the device my computer hangs in the start of the process. Any ideas what I might have done wrong? --- Frode Ulsund
