[linux-lvm] not enough free/allocatable physical extents to extend logical vo lume

[Taylor_Carpenter]

I am trying to add a 4th disk to an existing lv.  I am following the
directions in

http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/x802.html

but It is complaing about free physical extents when trying to extend during
the e2fsadm portion.


root]# pvscan
pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
pvscan -- ACTIVE   PV "/dev/sdb1" of VG "Scratch" [33.91 GB / 240 MB free]
pvscan -- ACTIVE   PV "/dev/sdc1" of VG "Scratch" [33.91 GB / 240 MB free]
pvscan -- ACTIVE   PV "/dev/sdd1" of VG "Scratch" [33.91 GB / 240 MB free]
pvscan -- ACTIVE   PV "/dev/sde1" of VG "Scratch" [33.91 GB / 33.91 GB free]
pvscan -- total: 4 [135.65 GB] / in use: 4 [135.65 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0]

I'm guessing you're trying to extend by too large a size.  Use 
pvdisplay on /dev/sde1 and note the number of physical extents free.  
Then try passing that to e2fsadm with the '-l' flag instead of passing 
33.91G with the '-L' flag.  This is just a guess though.  It's pretty 
hard to tell without all the commands you ran and the output they gave 
you.
