I am trying to create a logical partition within my logical volume group
first
pvs shows
[root@susedb2 ~]# pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda2 VolGroup00 lvm2 a- 9.97G 9.97G
/dev/sda5 VolGroup00 lvm2 a- 249.97G 180.47G
I wqant to create a logical parititon using all of the remainder /dev/sda5
so I do this
[root@susedb2 ~]# lvcreate -v -L 180.47G VolGroup00
Finding volume group "VolGroup00"
Rounding up size to full physical extent 180.50 GB
Archiving volume group "VolGroup00" metadata (seqno 49).
Creating logical volume lvol0
Creating volume group backup "/etc/lvm/backup/VolGroup00" (seqno 50).
Found volume group "VolGroup00"
Creating VolGroup00-lvol0
Loading VolGroup00-lvol0 table
device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument
Failed to activate new LV.
any idea?
in syslog i find this error
device-mapper: table: device 8:5 too small for target
device-mapper: table: 253:6: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed
device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
device-mapper: table: device 8:5 too small for target
device-mapper: table: 253:6: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed
device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table
I can create any partition without errors up to 9.97gb. but I cant create
anything bigger thant that. why is that? why cant i create a logical
partition on /dev/sda5?
