[yast-devel] problem installing onto LVM striped disks
Hi, I'm trying to do an autoyast install onto LVM striped volumes. I couldn't find an example, but it seems like something similar to the following should work (it works in the unstriped variation). Specifically, in the partition planning step, I'm getting an error dialog that says "A logical volume with the requested size could not be created. Try reducing the stripe count of the volume." It doesn't seem like it can actually be running out of space, as the disks are a lot larger than the sizes specified. I've included the end of the y2log below. Is there some way to tweak this to make it work?

Is there some way to tweak this to make it work?
From having a short look at the y2log file, it seems as if the computation of "max" value in autoyast is wrong. Please try replacing "max" by a value that can fit onto the two disks.

This worked. Thanks! For the record, the "max" that I had to replace was for the LVM volume itself, not the underlying physical disks.
