[linux-lvm] Confusing error: No space left on device

[Jason Pyeron]

This is likely a problem between keyboard and chair, but it has got me confused all the same.

I was having issues with rsync, so I switched to dd and the same problem persists.

Any suggestions?

History says "lvcreate --size 8589934592b --name ciphershed-dmz-http vg_five66"
