Thanks for the reply, Jay, and you just answered the follow-up question I was 
going to ask; namely, is it possible to dynamically grow a striped LV.  Guess 
not.

I'll give the alternate format of the lvcreate command a try.

Thanks,
Jon

Try this lvcreate command instead:

lvcreate --stripes 12 -l 864 -n lvdocs02 vgdocs02

I would use 12 stripes since that is the number of volumes you have in the
group, therefore thats also the number of IOs you can have in flight at a
time.

I would also use the -l parameter over the -L and give it the number of
Physical Extents (PE) you want the lv to use. It seems to be more consistant
that way, and you get exactly what you asked for.

Be aware that if you are going to be striping the lv like this, you are
basically preventing youself from being able to grow the file system like
you can with a non-striped lv. You would have to dump and restore the file
system to a larger lv that you had created previously.
