Objective: Be able to take snapshots of XEN disk images for backup.
Problem: lvcreate is failing
The environment:
[root at localhost ~]# pvscan
PV /dev/md3 VG gt_vg lvm2 [909.91 GB / 909.91 GB free]
Total: 1 [909.91 GB] / in use: 1 [909.91 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ]
[root at localhost ~]# vgscan
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
Found volume group "gt_vg" using metadata type lvm2
[root at localhost ~]# vgdisplay gt_vg

[root at localhost ~]# lvcreate -L 5G -n data gt_vg
Not enough PVs with free space available for parallel allocation.
Consider --alloc anywhere if desperate.
Any feedback would be very much appreciated,
Thanks for your time,
