Hi all,
I've also posted this to the forum, but maybe the list will respond
sooner ;)
This is my issue:
I have a HP DL320s with 3.5TB storage. I have made 2 VGs; a 500Gb and
and a 2Tb. The partition is marked as GPT.
So far all is well.
On the partition I have roughly 1Tb unallocated space left, which I want
to use to make another VG.
The gui displays this:
/Edit partitions in /dev/cciss/c0d1 (897722 cylinders with "gpt" label)
Device Type Number Start cyl End cyl Blocks Size
Type Delete
/dev/cciss/c0d1p1 Linux Physical Volume (0x8e) 1 1
514007 2097146863 2000.00 GB Primary In use
/dev/cciss/c0d1p2 Linux Physical Volume (0x8e) 2 514007
642510 524291072 500.00 GB Primary In use
Create a partition in /dev/cciss/c0d1
You can use ranges within the following extents:
Mode Starting cylinder Ending cylinder Space
Primary 642511 897722 993.03 GB
/
So, I select the settings as they are displayed here as I want to
allocate all remaining space to the vg.
If I hit Create, however, I am presented a much smaller vg:

Primary 718180 897722 698.60 GB

So, question is, how come the gui makes a 294.42 GB vg in stead of a
much larger 993.03 GB hmm
Does this look familiar to anybody?
Thanks
Patrick
