Hi,<BR>
<BR>
I am using LVM version 2.00.25.<BR>
<BR>
The man page states that there is a ~256GB limit if physical extent size is set to 4MB, because number of physical extents per LV is limited to ~64K.<BR>
<BR>
Is this actually still true with this version?<BR>
<BR>
My system is set to 4MB physical extent size, and total size is 614GB, with number of PE's in the LV 157363.<BR>
No problems experienced yet.<BR>
<BR>
See below for details.<BR>
<BR>
Hints?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
<BR>
