Can i create a file system more than 256Gb whith LVM?
I see in docs.hp.com:
Bad block relocation is not supported for root, swap, or dump logical volumes, or on physical volumes larger than 256GB
and:
A file system can be expanded up to a maximum size of 128GB, except one designated for root or boot which is limited to either 2 or 4GB.

Thanks.

since 11.00 you can have Physical Volumes of 4TB,
and Logical Volumes of 2TB.

No problem -

On the bad block relocation - this could be an issue, but usually You only see those capacities on external storage where You ought to use lvchange -r N anyway to disable bad block checking.
