Can someone please help me understand what it is I am doing incorrectly?
I have 22 PVs (disks) assigned to a VG, the stats on the disks:
I have a VG created..
I have a LV created..
I created a mirrored LV (Copies: 2), so next I want to create the JFS2 FS..
The error I get is..
I have no idea what I am doing wrong? I am trying to maximize my usage of PP/LPs, so basically use it all up and assign the largest possible FS on the JFS2.
When creating the JFS2 FS, its asking for the Number of Units so if my LV has 6005 LPs, and my PP size is 128, 6005x128 .. 768640MB.. to leave a bit of breathing room I tried to set it to 768000 but the above error happens.
What am i doing wrong.. really would like to understand how to do this correctly starting from the PPs up to creating the JFS2.

We are using AIX 5.2 using jfs2 almost all excpt one mount.
Is it possible for a non root user id to mount one file system without journaling turned on, perform some activities and then remount (un-mount and mount) the same file system again.
Please advise if this is possible

A few have commented that they would not recommend it, if the server is important, may crash the server... Just... (0 Replies)
