lvm crashes on my machine

[Azieh Ndangoh]

Hallo World,

I have been redirected here to post my linux related questions.

On my linux 7.1/2.4.18 machine,
i have created a logical volume striped over 8 17G disks, with a stripe size of 64K. The device is mounted, and everything looks fine (i.e. "df -k" shows ca. 136 GB, for the logical volume size). I can write small data on the device, but when I try to ftp a 5G file on this volume, the system crashes. when I do a vgdisplay -v, all the systems look good.

If I remove one of the 17G disks from the logical volumes, I can ftp the 5G file on this disk and tutti frutti (all is fine), locating the problem more to the striping/logical volume cause.

I couldn't find a way to enable largefiles on the logical filesystem.

help will be appreciated

Hi

Can you create Software RAID 0 (use md) instead of LVM?

Good luck
