There are two disadvantages I can see from using the factor:
1. Reduces the number of PV's per VG
2. Does not allow you to import the VG to another machine with an
lower level OS (one that does not support the function).
The disadvantage to larger PP sizes, is the inability to allocate small 8MB
lv's if you need them, but with disk prices the way they are, is this really
a problem?
2cents.

The system to which we will be upgrading to has larger drives and will require either 16MB PPs or the use of chvg -t in order to avoid the default limit of 1016 PPs per PV. I can't see any (dis)advantages to using one method over the other. Are there any? TIA.
