LVM version: 2.00.08 (2003-11-14)
Library version: 1.00.07-ioctl (2003-11-21)
Driver version: 4.0.0
I am using linux kernel 2.6.3
For making my data can balance on all of my three scsi disk, I use such
methods to create my LV:
lvcreate -l 32 -n test vg /dev/sda1
lvextend -l +32 /dev/vg/test /dev/sdb1
lvextend -l +32 /dev/vg/test /dev/sdc1
lvextend -l +32 /dev/vg/test /dev/sda1
......
(I use a shell script to do these)
But When I extend a Logic Volumn to 26.5G, it saids:
....
Logical volume boards successfully resized
Extending logical volume boards to 26.75 GB
VG amd64 metadata writing failed
Extending logical volume boards to 26.75 GB
(lvextend using sdb1 and sdc1 will fail, but lvextend using sda1 will
sucess)
It is strange I have three scsi disk which are the same.
