Subject: [linux-lvm] Couple of question/confusionI 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= 9.11I 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).

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