lvextend striped lvol with non-equivalent disk size.

Hello!

I have to extend striped lvol which consist of two 280 GB disks. New disk to be added is 216 GB. By default stripe has strict policy and it can't be changed w/o lvol recreation. So the max new lvol size limit is 216*3 GB. Is there a way out to extend the lvol to get 2*280+216GB without recreation? It's a bit hard to backup/restore more than 500Gb of data.

How lvol as created?? With lvcreate -i and -I options?? If yes, you will have to add two more disks to extend it.

Hi,

You have a 2 disk striping. So to extend that logical volume you have to put two disk in your volume group. doesn't matter how big. So if you want to add 216 GB to the logical volume.
Extend the volume group with 2 disk of 108 Gb. and then extend the logical volume with lvextend.

grtz. Mark
