Subject: [linux-lvm] Couple of question/confusion

I started playing with LVM tonight and I am impressed... LVM + resierfs is nice! But I have a couple problems.

Let me explain (Please offer advice if you want) I have the following setup..
/dev/hdc1 = 1.2G
/dev/hdd2 = 7.9G
/dev/hda3 = 1.2G
/dev/sda1 = 9.11

I wanted to combine all of the above into 1 *partition* for /home. now is LVM something I should be looking into or should I just go to linear raid? or raid 0?

Quoted 5 lines

Now I create my physical volume, but when I want to create my logical I keep recieving this error:

freedom /# lvcreate -L100G freedom
lvcreate -- only 499 free physical extents in volume group "freedom"

-L100G means 100 Gigabyte, that�s just a little bit to much (I think you
only
have 1.2 + 7.9 + 1.2 + 9.1 = 19.4 G - if I�m right).

Quoted 10 lines

What am I doing wrong?

Please offer some advice, wether LVM is just overkill for me and I should just use raid0 or linear.
