Hello,

I want to create a logical volume of 40GB Size using a physical 9GB disks,is
there a way to create a logical volume in the way, that the first logical
extend is on disk one, the second on disk two, ... the 7th on disk one and
so on ?

Meaning all logical extends are distributed accross all disks.

In HP-UX lvdisplay wwill look like this:
   --- Logical extents ---
   LE    PV1                PE1   Status 1
   00000 /dev/dsk/c16t0d0   00012 current
   00001 /dev/dsk/c16t0d1   00012 current
   00002 /dev/dsk/c17t0d2   00000 current
   00003 /dev/dsk/c17t0d3   00000 current
