Phil,

>From the LVM Howto section 12.3:
"We will not use striping because it is not currently possible to add a disk
to a stripe set after the logical volume is created."

Subject: striped LVM non-extensible


We have moved a large filesystem to a striped LVM (5 physical volumes, 5
stripes) and now find that one of the advantages of LVM is lost,
non-disruptive expansion.  I wanted to make sure I am correct that a
striped LVM can not be expaned without being rebuild?
