That's a GREAT question. The really weird thing is that the RAID array in question *does* actually have 3.2 TB of free space in it! (5 x 750GB SATA in RAID 5 array). I am completely baffled.<div><br></div><div><div>

</div>So that's what you need to explain:<br>
<br>
How come LVM thinks that device is 3.22T while it's really only 1.22T ?<br>
<br>
Presumably blockdev --getsize will tell you the same.<br>
<br>
IOW It's not an LVM issue. Check your cciss partitioning.<br>
