lvextend not possible...

[sapoguheman]

Hi All,

I am not able to extend my LV by 100gb.What i did was there was no space in VG vgALRN_3.

After checking lvmtab configuration for this VGi have added 33gb*4 disks under this VG.

VG was extended by 132gb but still I am not able to extend the LV /dev/vgALRN_3/lvdbALRN.

I saw following parameter are set

Stripes                     8
Stripe Size (Kbytes)        8
 

Can someone explaim me how should i go ahead if i need to extend the LV by 100gb.

Hi Heman,

I dont think we have anyother option except to have same number of LUN's with comparision of (total stripes define for LV to extend the striped LV. I couldn't found a way to change the striped value as well... :)

Thanks & Regards,
