This may be a dumb question...but what requires these disks to be in the
same VG?

Subject: LVM, Max PP's and Factoring

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
