Dne 4.3.2017 v 14:58 lejeczek napsal(a):
right?
Or it does?
From man pages my understanding is - it does not, an expression "the
extension" is used there.

If I have a LV with 2 stripes and 64KiB stripesizes, then adding two more
stripes, like this:

$ lvextend h300Int1/0 -i 2 -I 16 /dev/sd3 /dev/sd4 (if it was to succeed)

will change the LV into 4 stripes LV, but what would happened to stripesize(s)?


Hi

At this moment lvm2 supports extension only of the same types.
So extended/added segment will have some 'geometry' as the last/previous segment of your extended LV.

So if you do not add any 'striping' parameters - they will be automatically detected from LV, if you add them - they will be compared and in case of mismatch operation will be rejected.

Also if the allocation policy and free space in VG allows - extension will try first to extend existing segment before allocating new space somewhere else in VG.
