Hi We use AoE disks for some of our systems. Currently, a 15.65Tb filesystem we have is full, I then extended the LVM by a further 4Tb but resize4fs could not handle a filesystem over 16Tb (CentOS 5.5). I then reduced the lvm by the same amount, and attempted to create a new LV, but get this error message in the process

lvcreate -v -ndata2 -L2T -t aoe
Test mode: Metadata will NOT be updated.

I've run a vgscan but this didn't help. So any ideas what step I've missed to enable me to create the new LV ?

Thanks

Phil.

OK I believe I've resolved it. I knew I was in test mode, but wasn't expecting those messages. Running the command out of test mode just works. Should have tried that earlier, never mind I'll know next time.

It's even worse, ext4 (with current userspace tools) can't handle >16T even if
you mkfs it from scratch...
