lvextend: "LogicalExtentsNumber" is bigger than the maximum value allowed.

[Alberto Jimenez Lozano]

I want to extend a LV to 1146080 MB, but when I try, it appears the next error.

# lvextend -L 1140080 /dev/vg01/dctm
lvextend: "LogicalExtentsNumber" is bigger than the maximum value allowed.

I have seen that the limit extension for a LV is 65535 Physical extension.

65535x16--> 1048560 MB.

root@ejhp47:/# vgdisplay vgEE
--- Volume groups ---
VG Name /dev/vgEE

Can I modify the vg parameters PE Size and MAx PE or I have to create a new vg? If these parametes can be changed, how can I do it?

max_pe is already at maximum, sou you can only destroy the whole VG and re-create with a bigger PE size.


your maximum size of an lvol is 65535 * PE_size

1048560MB for your config.

You need to create a new VG with physical extent size of 32 MB and with Max PE.
