Maximum Physical volume size?
Hello - were you able to resolve? I have the exact same error with same volume size.

I seem to be exceeding a limit somewhere when I attempt to install a RedHat Linux Client release 5 O/S on a 2.8 Terabyte Physical disk. The install goes without error and creates a Volume group and logical volumes for the O/S partitions and the balance of the space as a 2.6 Terabyte logical volume. When I reviewed the ?partitioning? I attempted to reduce the size of the of the 2.6 Terabyte Logical Volume a little so I could add a little to the root Logical Volume. It refused to change the size and claimed that the reduced size exceeded the maximum size limit of 2 Terabytes. I decided to press on without making the change. When I booted up the new O/S the VolumeGroup00 was discovered but device-mapper reported:
Do you have the logs generated by anaconda available still? These are placed into /var/log/anaconda* and /root/install.log*. There should also be a file named /root/anaconda-ks.cfg which has the kickstart commands to re-create the storage configuration used in the install.
This would let us see what anaconda had tried to configure on the system.
If you can boot the machine into rescue mode and generate an lvmdump tarball that would also be helpful.
Do you have somewhere you could post those online? That would be better than sending large attachments to the list.
Kind regards,
Bryn.
