How do I actually create a 500GB volume?
try lvcreate -l 127999 -n 500G freenas
The default '500G' size is 12,800 extents, but you only have 12,799 extents free; which gets rounded *up* to 500G by the free space display. And that's a lower-case 'L' option, not an upper-case 'I' option. _______________________________________________
Cool, thanx for the explanation. Why is there one extend "missing", or no usable?
Overhead (LVM meta data needs to be stored someplace) and/or roundoff error. It is not really a 500G partition, it is like a 499.99<mumble>G partition, which is displayed as a 'human readable' 500G.
