Max PE per PV

[R.Rousseau]

Do you have any idea, workaround, etc ... to modify the 'max PE per PV' value without recreating the Volume Group?

Thank you a lot,
Fabio

Sorry, that value is fixed when the VG is first created. I suspect that you are adding a larger disk to an existing VG and would like to use all the available capacity of the new disk. There is no magic bullet for this.

Unfortunately, there is none. Thw MAX PE per PV is set in the vgcreate command and cannot be changed.

Unfortunately, I would say you're out of luck here Fabio. The only way to change the max PE per PV is to actually recreate your VG

Hi Fabio


You need to recreate the volume groups as the PE size is determined at the time of vg creations and hence the no of PE , so max PE per PV cannot change after the vg is created.

max PE is set at time of vg creation.
So you can't change it afterwards :(
