cannot set a size to lvm partition (size 0 is invalid)
Hello,
I am running debian etch stable from a net install cd I just downloaded.
I have 4x 500gb drives.
Each drive has 2 partitions. 1gb and 499gb.
raid 1 - each 1gb has been setup as raid 1
raid 5- each 499gb partition was setup as raid 5 totaling a raid 5
partition as 1500gb / 1.5Tb
I set the raid 5 partition as a lvm group and not I am trying to
create lvm partition for my home at 1450GB. I keep getting the error
that partition size 0 cannot be created.
I tried:
1450g
1450GB
97%
1.45t
1.45TB
1459000m
1459000MB
all give me the same error.
Here is a syslog.
I don't know why but when I want to create lvm volume:
1497303MB is my initial setting.
I can just hit enter to 1497303MB and it will take it.
But if I pick 1457303MB I get an error.
What is going on with these numbers. syslog tells me that 1.36 TB is
only available? Shouldn't that be 1.4xx TB?
Can somebody explain why I cannot create my 1.45 tb and rest as swap
partitions? Also why sys log tells me I have 1.36 even do other
screens tell me that my lvm group holds 1.5tb?
I tried both. installgui and install when setting these up.
here is a syslog.
