Hi Rahul,
you really appear to have 6 PV (not three) of 1.63TB each and all that
storage space is assigned to the VG euclid_highperf_storage .
The VG has three LV defined from it and indeed has free space; using these
LV you  created three filesystems which have free space too, as Ray just
explained.

You have not shown the output of a vgs command but if If you issue it you
should see something like this:

#vgs
  VG         #PV #LV #SN Attr   VSize VFree
  euclid_highperf_storage  6   3   0 wz--n- 9.8T   1.22T

and so you still have 1.22 TB of free space to use

some math...

Details from pvdisplay:
PE Size (KByte)  4096  = 4MB
VG Name          euclid_highperf_storage
Total PE= 428351*6 = 2570106*4MB = 10280424 MB = 9.8TB
total Free PE: 38140+140607+140607 = 319354*4MB = 1277416M = 1.22 TB
total Allocated PE: 428351*3+390211+287744+287744 = 2250752*4MB = 9003008 MB
= 8.58 TB

Details from lvdisplay:
Current LE     1572864+153600+524288 = 2250752
exactly like the Allocated PE in pvdisplay

Best regards,
Giorgio.
