Hello,

I'am trying to setup a striped logical volume. But I am getting this error :

#lvcreate -i2 -I4 -L1G -n main/lv_usr
  Insufficient allocatable extents suitable for striping for logical
volume lv_usr: 32 required

I don't understand this error. I did not find any anwser on google :(

Where is my system config :
Distro : Debian GNU/Linux "unstable"
System : Linux TuX 2.6.0-test9 #8 SMP Sun Nov 2 10:40:22 CET 2003 i686
GNU/Linux
LVM Version : 2.00.07-1
Hardware : 2x IDE Hard Disks Seagate ST340014A
  hda: ST340014A, ATA DISK drive
  hdb: ST340014A, ATA DISK drive

vgdisplay
  --- Volume group ---
  VG Name               main
  System ID             PV_IMPTuX1061637595

  VG Access             read/write
  VG Status             resizable

  Max PV                256
  Cur PV                2
  Act PV                2
  VG Size               49.41 GB
  PE Size               32.00 MB
  Total PE              1581
  Alloc PE / Size       1256 / 39.25 GB
  Free  PE / Size       325 / 10.16 GB
  VG UUID               3PL6Zl-KtFh-pOqH-ntf5-C5td-SPxt-uUFZqJ

I have 10.16 Free GB. It's enough to setup a 1GB stripped logical volume,
isn't it?

#lvm pvscan
  PV /dev/hda5    is in exported VG main [31.25 GB / 0    free]
  PV /dev/hdb5    is in exported VG main [18.16 GB / 10.16 GB free]
  Total: 2 [10.16 GB] / in use: 2 [10.16 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0   ]

May be the problem is here?

I have not enough free space on hda5 and LVM doesn't move automatically
data form hda5 to hdb5?

Thanks a lot
