In the RHEL5 cluster LVM manual, on page 45 of the PDF version, when explaining how to extend a striped LV when not enough space exists to extend using the same stripe setup, it mentions to use -iL. From what I can find, this is invalid - you would instead use -i1. <context follows> volume, but you can override those parameters. The following example extends the existing striped logical volume to use the remaining free space after the initial lvextend command fails. # lvextend vg/stripe1 -L 406G Using stripesize of last segment 64.00 KB Extending logical volume stripe1 to 406.00 GB Insufficient suitable allocatable extents for logical volume stripe1: 34480 more required # lvextend -iL -l+100%FREE vg/stripe1
Moving all RHCS ver 5 bugs to RHEL 5 so we can remove RHCS v5 which never existed.
I have fixed the lvextend example so that it specifies the actual number 1 (indicating that the volume should be extended on to one stripe, which is pragmatically not really a stripe...) instead of the typo-ed letter L. Good catch. I have requested that the updated version of the document be pushed out to the docs web page, with RT 26340.
The RHEL 5 version of the LVM manual on the docs web page has been updated with a version of the document that corrects this typo.
