I see no other way than backup fs, recreate vg with bigger pp-size,
restore fs .

Hi all,

I've got a slight problem with one of my volume groups. I need to add
more disk space, but the disks I need to add are 36Gb SSA, but the
volume group was created with 32Mb PP's. This means I can only have 1016
PP's per volume. I need more than this to add the 36Gb drives.

I know I could alter the factor to 2 thus giving me 2032 PP's as a max
per volume which would be suffucient, but this would decrease my max
PV's from 32 to 16. I already have 19 disks in the VG.

Q.) What's the easiest way to get around this and add my 36Gb drives.

Thanks in Advance,

Alan
