I'm pulling my hair out trying to setup a mirrored logical volume. lvconvert tells me I don't have enough free space, even though I have hundreds of gigabytes free on both physical volumes.
Command: lvconvert -m1 /dev/vg1/iscsi_deeds_data Insufficient suitable allocatable extents for logical volume : 10240 more required Any ideas? Thanks!, Gordon Here's the output from the lvconvert with verbose and debugging turned on: # lvconvert -vvv -d -m1 /dev/vg1/iscsi_deeds_data Processing: lvconvert -vvv -d -m1 /dev/vg1/iscsi_deeds_data O_DIRECT will be used Setting global/locking_type to 1 File-based locking selected.
