Hi,
I ran in a problem while creating a lv with units in powers of 1000.
I looked up the free space with vgdisplay:
root@(none):~# vgdisplay --units G | grep Size
vgdisplay VG Size 25.70 GB
vgdisplay PE Size 0.00 GB
vgdisplay Alloc PE / Size 0 / 0 GB
vgdisplay Free PE / Size 6127 / 25.70 GB
And then I tried to create the lv a little bit smaller, like this:
root@(none):~# lvcreate -L 25.50G datavolume -n datavolume
lvcreate Insufficient free extents (6127) in volume group datavolume:
6528 required
You even get the same message using a small g:
root@(none):~# lvcreate -L 25.50g datavolume -n datavolume
lvcreate Insufficient free extents (6127) in volume group datavolume:
6528 required
So it seems lvcreate does not respect the unit in power of 1000?
I used 2.02.56.
