Hi

i was trying to lvextend one of my file system (this belongs to one of
my applications) but got the below messages

lvextend: Not enough free physical extents available.
Failure possibly caused by contiguous allocation policy.
Failure possibly caused by strict allocation policy

I have checked that this logical volume is 2 disks, one is for mirror,
and a pvdisk shows enough disk space

i did a lvchance -Cn /dev/vgxx/.... before i lvextend.

Did i do the right thing?

Rgds
