Comment 5 David Milburn 2005-08-19 21:02:35 UTC 
Manpage for vgcreate needs to specify the correct range for lvm2 physicalextentsize.
Comment 7 Alasdair Kergon 2005-08-30 13:07:55 UTC 
"vgcreate in lvm2 allows 1 KB for minimum value in source code. It mentions
only for LVM1. should mention LVM2 also, since RHEL4 is using LVM2."
Comment 11 David Milburn 2005-10-21 21:44:14 UTC 
The manpage for vgcreate delivered in lvm2-2.01.08-1.0.RHEL4 doesn't state the
correct physicalextentsize for LVM2.

-s, --physicalextentsize PhysicalExtentSize[kKmMgGtT]
      Sets  the physical extent size on physical volumes of this vol-
      ume group.  A size suffix (k for kilobytes up  to  t  for  ter-
      abytes)  is  optional, megabytes is the default if no suffix is
      present.  Values can be from 8 KB to 16 GB in powers of 2. 

The 8KB to 16GB range is specific to LVM1, it should state the correct limits
for LVM2 which would be 1KB to MAX.
