<p class=MsoNormal>I seem to be exceeding a limit somewhere when I attempt to
install a RedHat Linux Client release 5 O/S on a 2.8 Terabyte Physical disk. The
install goes without error and creates a Volume group and logical volumes for
the O/S partitions and the balance of the space as a 2.6 Terabyte logical
volume. When I reviewed the “partitioning” I attempted to reduce
the size of the of the 2.6 Terabyte Logical Volume a little so I could add a
little to the root Logical Volume. It refused to change the size and claimed
that the reduced size exceeded the maximum size limit of 2 Terabytes. I decided
to press on without making the change. When I booted up the new O/S the
VolumeGroup00 was discovered but device-mapper reported:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>“device-mapper: table 253:0: linear: dm-linear: Device
lookup failed” <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>“device-mapper: table 253:1: linear: dm-linear: Device
lookup failed”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Then it crashed with a “nash received SIGSEGV”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>What is the Maximum Physical Volume size on a “Red Hat
Enterprise Linux Client release 5”?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Is the Maximum Physical Volume size different in the
32 it Advanced server version?<o:p></o:p></p>
