--- Logical volume ---

I am trying to create stripped lv here, how I am going to do that?

anyway an odd problem is after create a stripped lv then vgextent the vg
with /dev/hda9, but I can't lvextent the lv 
# lvextend -L+20G /dev/TITAN/home
lvextend -- extending logical volume "/dev/TITAN/home" to 96.1 GB
lvextend -- not enough free/allocatable physical extents to extend logical volume "/dev/TITAN/home"

what was the problem?
