I installed Suse 9.2 pro on dual P4 system. My problem is LVM. The has two SCSI-Disk with 280GB, I made swap and system on the first disk and made a partition of type 0x8E Linux LVM as /dev/sda3 (250GB). I made a group, joined the partition, mounted the LVM group to a directory and it works fine. On the second disk I have only one partition of the LVM type /dev/sdb1 (280GB) and joined it to the LVM group. It shows now 250GB used and 280GB free. When I set the size of the group to max (530GB) I get this error: lvextend -l 135348 /dev/hmiLVM/hmilvm logical volumes cannot contain more than 65534 extents. Extending logical volume hmilvm to 528.70 GB Why can LVM contain only 65534 extents? Its sounds like 16bit adressing. Do I anything wrong? I did all with yast2. The software installer of yast2 says that only LVM2 is installed. Thanx, N. Eschricht
