    Christopher,

            The current file systems are all mirrored but the worry is that my
    vg has 8 disks with 10 fs on it. Out of these fs's, 6 of them are IO
    intensive so they are created in such a way that they use individual disk
    for each of the 6 fs's. When I am extending the IO intensive FS, none of
    these IO intensive FS's should go and occupy the free space on another disk
    where we already have an IO intensive FS. In short I want to specify which
    disk to be used when I am adding some space to my IO intensive FS.

    TIA
    Praveen.K

    Praveen,

    If IO speed is a high priority for fs01, have you considered "striping" the
    filesystem over more than one drive?

    Hi,

            I have a vg called dbvg which is made of 5 disks, where I am going
    to create 5 File systems. Out of these 5, three of the fs are IO intensive.
    I want to create 5 logical volumes one each for 5 file systems on each
    individual disk. Also in future when I extend my one of the IO intensive
    file system (say fs01), this should not occupy the disk space on the disk
    were I already have another IO intensive fs (fs02), so I think I can choose
    the disks where I would want my IO intensive file system(fs01) be spread
    when the corresponding disk has no space left on it. Please correct if I am
    wrong in saying this.

    Say I have created a logical volume with the above preferences, now I would
    want to check what are the disks my IO intensive file system is going to
    use.

    Can some let me know how to check what are the disks a logical volume is
    going to use once that specific disk is full.

    TIA
    Praveen.K
