[linux-lvm] Maximum number of drives in a Logical Volume Stripe

Hi ...,

What is the maximum number of drives that we can have in a stripped logical
volume?

On a CentOS 7.3 machine, it is not allowing me to have a stripe count of
more that 8 Drives. I have 12 Drives in the Volume Group and would like to
use all of them in the Logical Volume.

Is it a limitation of RHEL/CentOS?
Is there a work around?

Regards,

Hi ...,

Got the solution/answer to the issue not allowing a stripe count of more
than 8 drives.
Its a bug in RHEL/CentOS 7.3 which is not there in earlier version, and has
been fixed in RHEL/CentOS 7.4
