Hi,

I was trying to create a striped lvol with a stripe size of 2K. This failed due to an illegal parameter:

# lvcreate -i 2 -I 2 -L 100 vg01
lvcreate -- invalid stripe size 2

It seems that stripe sizes of 1K and 2K are not allowed, although the lvcreate manual page says that the stripe size is 2^n with 0<=n<=7.

Duh?

This has been changed so the minimum size is the page size of your system. I'll update the man page.

I already did that, Joe.

An error in the documentation.
The minimum stripe size is 4k.

Going to correct it...
