Hi all,

I have a 3.5TB logical volume made from two 1.75 TB partitions / physica= l volumes. The partitions are being created on CentOS 6.4 with parted 2.1= =2E Whenever I do a "parted -l" I get the following message:

Error: partition length of 7518568448 sectors exceeds the loop-partition= -table-imposed maximum of 4294967295

 

lvdisplay works fine with no warnings/errors, and I can write data to th= e logical volume. What exactly does this error mean and will it affect the = availability of my logical volume to store the full 3.5TB of data?

 

Thanks!

It's a valid question. Although I'm curious about the use case. The only = time I've partitioned an LV rather than directly formatting it, is when = using the LV as a backing store for a qemu/kvm VM via = virsh/virt-manager. However in that case, to access the partition map = and activate the individual partitions before mounting them, I used = kpartx -a.

Chris Murphy Thanks Chris, I'm not actually partitioning a logical volume ( can you even do that? :-) ), I'm building a logical volume from two separate physical volumes which are partitions on a disk. Example: /dev/sda4, /dev/sdb4 are PV's, part of 1 VG, and then a single LV in the VG. When I do a parted -l on the system is when it gives that error.
