Hi all, When creating an striped LVM, how can you tell the max size you can create?
If you have one stripe, there's the Max option on the LVM screen (SLES10) which will fill in the max size of the LVM. With more than one stripe, the max option goes away and some portion of the space is used in the striping. But how much? So far the best way I've found is to use Max to get a starting point, then blank out the space, set my stripes, and go back and fill in "a little less" each time till LVM will take it. For example, doing an LVM with 45 mod 9s. Round numbers math gives me 6.8GB/volume x 45 volumes = 306GB. That's close to what Max gives. But what's the number with 8 stripes? How can you tell ahead of time?
