Adam, Was able to build a volume group and I get the message "maximum logical volume size 1023.97 Gigabyte". I have 153 volumes, totalling 1077120 MB with a PE of 16MB. When creating the logical volume, I get "not enought allocatable/free physical volume space in VG1, please check if physical volumes are allocatable". I ran vgscan and can see the vg. I ran pvscan and can see all 153 physical volumes with 6.88 GB free on each. Total 153 1.03 TB. I've tried lvcreate -L 1T -i 128 -I 64 -n LV1 VG1 a couple of times varying the -I value. Any other suggestions?
