The answer is that you didn't create a logical volume, but the message that tells you this isn't indicating there was an error: lvcreate -- 4 stripes more than 1 physical volumes in "oracledb8"
If you want to use stripes, you have to have at least as many physical volumes available as you specify on the "-i" parameter.
