Hi!

I have a 60999.46 MB linux lvm partition. But when I pvcreate it and pvdisplay /dev/hda2 it says the physical volume is only 56.8GB and 1.03MB not used. Where are those lost Gigs? I use the lvm that comes with the 2.4.3 kernel.

Could you provide "pvdisplay /dev/hda2" and "fdisk -l /dev/hda" please?

It is likely caused by the math:

1 GB = 2^30 Byte

My harddrive is 61.4GB i think. I think LVM is great software, it should be standard in all ditributions.
