we dont have an
either to unterstand how it is organised ( mirror between to bays? etc... ) And I may be wrong as now I use only mirror pools
It looks like you are in morror and yes you added new disks but are they one in each mrirror copy etc...
If you are stripped with strict policy you are stuck...you will have to add as many disks it needs to respect the stripping policy, but one way perhaps to see if true would be to do a
as if the stripping is not strict, it will move blocks to unused disks and free the ones completely full, beware if this have never been done before ( running tht command...) it can take quite some time ( in hours...)
If it worked, you can try
and see if that works.. if so you are a happy guy...

Hello,
I have logical volume group of 50GB, in which I have 2 logical volumes, LogVol01 and LogVol02, both are of 10GB.
If I extend LogVol01 further by 10GB, then it keeps the extended copy after logical volume 2. I want to know where it keeps this information

Please help me to understand these concepts. (6 Replies)

Hello everyone,
I just read that while creating a logical volume(LV) we can choose the region of the physical volume (PV) in which the LV should be created.
When I say region I mean: outer edge - outer middle - center - inner middle and inner edge.
Can anyone help me understand the utility... (11 Replies)

lvdisplay
LVDISPLAY(8) System Manager's Manual LVDISPLAY(8)NAME
lvdisplay - display attributes of a logical volume
SYNOPSIS
lvdisplay [-c|--colon] [-d|--debug] [-D|--disk] [-h|--help] [-v[v]|--verbose] LogicalVolumePath [LogicalVolumePath...]
DESCRIPTION
lvdisplay allows you to see the attributes of a logical volume like size, read/write status, snapshot information etc.
OPTIONS
-c, --colon
Generate colon seperated output for easier parsing in scripts or programs.
The values are:
* logical volume name
* volume group name
* logical volume access
* logical volume status
* internal logical volume number
* open count of logical volume
* logical volume size in kilobytes
* current logical extents associated to logical volume
* allocated logical extents of logical volume
* allocation policy of logical volume
* read ahead sectors of logical volume
* major device number of logical volume
* minor device number of logical volume
-d, --debug
Enables additional debugging output (if compiled with DEBUG).
-D, --disk
Show attributes of the volume group descriptor array on disk(s). Without this switch they are derived from kernel space. Useful,
if the volume group isn't active.
-h, --help
Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully.
-v, --verbose
Display the mapping of logical extents to physical volumes and physical extents.
-vv, --verbose --verbose
Like -v with verbose runtime information.
Examples
"lvdisplay -v /dev/vg00/lvol2" shows attributes of that logical volume and its mapping of logical to physical extents. In case snapshot
logical volumes have been created for this original logical volume, this command shows a list of all snapshot logical volumes and their
status (active or inactive) as well.
"lvdisplay /dev/vg00/snapshot" shows the attributes of this snapshot logical volume and also which original logical volume it is associated
with.
DIAGNOSTICS
lvdisplay returns an exit code of 0 for success or > 0 for error:
1 no logical volume name(s) on command line
95 driver/module not in kernel
96 invalid I/O protocol version
97 error locking logical volume manager
98 invalid lvmtab (run vgscan(8))
99 invalid command line
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
LVM_VG_NAME
The default Volume Group Name to use. Setting this variable enables you to enter just the Logical Volume Name rather than its com-
plete path.
