Everything seems to operate, storage has been allocated, filesystems have been built, everything is detected on reboo and I have even resized one of the logical volumes and expanded the disk. however, what I have read says that this warning message about incorrect metadata is something to be concerned about. My question is, how do I fix? second, this is probably a "RTFWP" question but how do you determine the free space on a physical volume. For example, if I have two logical volumes created and I want to know how much space is left on the physical? (apologies if I got the vocabulary wrong) --- eric
