Help regardinf File System Extend

[raiden]

Hi,

I want to extend a FileSystem and the volume group has 20 GB free space but when i try to extend the FS i get following error.

lvextend: Not enough free physical extents availabale.
Logical volume could not be extended.

When I checked I found that the allocation policy is set to PVG-strict . and the logical volume is not mirrored

Is this the cause of problem. Can I change the allocation policy to strict so that I will be able to extend the FS. If yes what command should I execute.

Shalom,

lvchange -s n

The policy is already set to strict. You need to set it to not strict (n)

Note that if you spread the PE's around too much you could cause performance problems with a heavy write logical volume.

Correct my earlier command

lvchange -C n

Apologies for the earlier error.

-C stands for contiguous.
