Hello,

when i try to extend my logical volume it returns the follwing error:

#lvextend -L 255000  /dev/vgtest/lvtest  /dev/disk/disk71

Need more PVs for "2" Stripes. Only have "1" PVs.

this is the lvtest configuration :

Schedule                    striped
LV Size (Mbytes)            203776

Best regards.

The error message says all.

You can't bypass the stripe allocation policy without completely recreating the logical volume.
