Bug#739855: partman-lvm: Irreproducible metadata size
Package: partman-lvm Severity: important Tags: d-i Dear Maintainer, I've created an LVM volume consisting of three 3TB disk at install time. Now that one of the disks started developing problems I added another disk of the same size to replace the failing one. Well, I can't. The problem seems to be that partman-lvm created PVs with only 195584 units-used-by-pvck allocated for metadata. However, there is no way to create PVs with less than 1047552 units-used-by-pvck with the standard pvcreate. No documented one, anyway. So the new PV has one extent less and I can't pvmove data from the old PV. Could you kindly make sure your PV creation tool doesn't create irreplaceable PVs, please? -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages partman-lvm depends on: pn cdebconf-udeb none pn di-utils none pn lvm2-udeb none pn md-modules none pn partman-base none partman-lvm recommends no packages. partman-lvm suggests no packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
