Re: [linux-lvm] can't use all VG free space for an LV stripe

[Vahid Pazirandeh <vpaziran yahoo com>]

hi Christian,

does this imply that all PV sizes in a VG must have the same size if i want to
stripe along all of them, thus using 100% of the VG space?

ps. i'm no longer on the linux-lvm mail list.

regards,
vahid
