stupid question about pvdisplay, just to be sure.
Just to be sure in case I misunderstand and do something really stupid: When pvdisplay says april:/farhome/hendrik# pvdisplay --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/md0 VG Name VG1 PV Size 673.62 GiB / not usable 3.00 MiB Allocatable yes PE Size 4.00 MiB Total PE 172445 Free PE 59037 Allocated PE 113408 PV UUID OsiEMf-FpfL-rc95-vV7a-QuJ3-EtUI-w0g7Bb april:/farhome/hendrik# does that mean that /dev/md0 still has 59037*4.00 = 236148 mebibytes of free space left to be allocated to logical volumes? -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Mmm... I've been reading the man page for pvdisplay and seems a bit cryptic (to me at least that know nothing about LVM :-) ). What's the output of pvdisplay -s? Let's see if both values (~230 GiB) match. Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Is this a bug or a feature? Yep, that's why I say I found it cryptic :-) However, a Google search on that parameter (-s) reveals that is used to know the available physical space on that volume. Go figure... maybe an outdated man page? :-? Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Yes. vgdisplay should give you the same info - unless you have more than one PV, in which case you might have more Free PE. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I don't know, but pvs gives that information in a sweet and short way. Stefan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
