I'm using a disk with ecrypted LVM.
It's working basically like this:
#pvdisplay --- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/dm-0
VG Name vg01
PV Size 148.79 GiB / not usable 1.29 MiB
Allocatable NO
PE Size 4.00 MiB
Total PE 38091
Free PE 14836
Allocated PE 23255
PV UUID
#vgdisplay --- Volume group ---
VG Name vg01
System ID
Format lvm2
Metadata Areas 1
Metadata Sequence No 9
VG Access read/write
VG Status resizable
MAX LV 0
Cur LV 3
Open LV 0
Max PV 0
Cur PV 1
Act PV 1
VG Size 148.79 GiB
PE Size 4.00 MiB
Total PE 38091
Alloc PE / Size 23255 / 90.84 GiB
Free PE / Size 14836 / 57.95 GiB

I still have 57G to create new volumes....That`s the problem....I have space ...but when I try to create the LV...ERROR
#lvcreate --size 57G --name novolv vg01 Insufficient free space: 14592 extents needed, but only 0 available
As I said in the subject, my LVM is encrypted...therefore I unlocked the disk and tried again:
#cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda2 crypt1
#vgscan --mknodes
#vgchange-ay
#vgchange -ay
same problem!
Any hints?
Regards
