Hi all !
This message addresses some problems I have regarding LVM and the extendability
of volume groups.
When a volumegroup is created with the 'createvg' command, the default number
of physical extents is 1016. If you're not altering the default physical extent
size (1 MB) when creating the volumegroup, all you get from each disk in the
volumegroup is 1016 MB.
My problem is that I have a larger disk, but I have created the volumegroup
with default values, thus giving me a logical volume with only 1016 MB
available when I should have had additional 700 MB. Is it possible to extend
the volumegroup so that I can include the 'missing' 700 MB without having to
recreate it ? (I would rather not recreate it because then I have to get
approx. 1GB from backup).
