lvextend -l 85480 /dev/vg06/lvol1
Generates the error:
"LogicalExtentsNumber": Must be a value between 1 and 65535.
The number of PE's is 85480 for all disks combined. With a MAX PE of 8549 per disk.
So 85480 is indeed exceeding 65535. Is there a kernel parameter to allow the number of PE's for the VG to exceed 65535?
Here's the definition of my VG. All I want to do is extend it to use all the remaining free space:

Re: LVEXTEND -> "LogicalExtentsNumber": Must be a value between 1 and 65535.
Unfortunately, in order to change the PE size you need to recreate the volume group.

No, there is no kernel parameter that governs this. If you want to expand this particular logical volume, you will have to recreate the owning *volume group* and specify a larger physical extent size ('-s pe_size'). In that fashion, the number of extents times the pe_size will vive you the ability to define a larger logical vlume than your current constraints allow.
Your other choice would be if you already have another volume group with an adequate pe_size. You could then copy the filesystem data from your old logical volume into a new one.
If/when you do create a new volume group, plan its geometry carefully by choosing values of 'max_pe', 'pe_size', and 'max_pv' that accomodate adequate growth. Once set at creation time they cannot be altered. See the man pages for 'vgcreate' for more information.

This disk layout was designed by HP. Tsk Tsk.
I'll just have to recreate the VG with a larger PE size. (vgcreate -s 16 maybe)
Thanks for the replies...points coming.
