Sorry, no direct support for that with LVM commands today.


But if you have next free allocation policy (as oposed to
contiguous/striped etc.), you can solve your need by

lvextend -l+`vgdisplay YourVG|awk '{if(/^Free PE/){print $3}}'` \
   /dev/YourVG/YourLV

If you put it into a script and do some parameter magic to parse
the VG name etc. -> that's it.

Have to implement an option for that in lvextend ;*)

Heinz
