Hello, I am running debian etch stable from a net install cd I just downloaded. I have 4x 500gb drives.
Each drive has 2 partitions. 1gb and 499gb. raid 1 - each 1gb has been setup as raid 1 raid 5- each 499gb partition was setup as raid 5 totaling a raid 5 partition as 1500gb / 1.5Tb I set the raid 5 partition as a lvm group and not I am trying to create lvm partition for my home at 1450GB. I keep getting the error that partition size 0 cannot be created. I tried: 1450g 1450GB 97% 1.45t 1.45TB 1459000m 1459000MB all give me the same error. Here is a syslog. I don't know why but when I want to create lvm volume: 1497303MB is my initial setting. I can just hit enter to 1497303MB and it will take it. But if I pick 1457303MB I get an error. What is going on with these numbers. syslog tells me that 1.36 TB is only available? Shouldn't that be 1.4xx TB? Can somebody explain why I cannot create my 1.45 tb and rest as swap partitions? Also why sys log tells me I have 1.36 even do other screens tell me that my lvm group holds 1.5tb? I tried both. installgui and install when setting these up. here is a syslog.
