SolutionWhy is the DB vender requesting 32 MM has he done any testing and if so in what environment.
My own system runs 2MB extents and handles 1 Gb files with no probs.
To really find out the best you need to try and measure on various settings.

Re: LVM pe_size large or small ?
With extent based striping you are better off with the smallest PE size that you can get. This is 1Mb with your 9Gb disks but increases with larger disks because of the .
The smaller the extent size, the more you will even out I/O requests over the disks that make up the stripe set. The larger then the more likely that you will have 'hot' areas on a particular disk.
I don't know of any benefits that a 32Mb extent size has over 4Mb other than less output from lvdisplay -v. It does have the disadvantage that the minimum size volume is 32Mb times the number of disks in your stripe set. This is probably not a problem for filesystems but can be an issue if you want to create small raw volumes.
Regards,
John
