Veritas Volume Manager - vxassist maxsize prob
Hey everyone

I have 4 disks that I am looking to create under a RAID5 volume.

# vxdisk list
DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS
c1t0d0s2 auto:sliced rootdisk rootdg online
c1t1d0s2 auto:cdsdisk data100 data1 online
c1t2d0s2 auto:cdsdisk data101 data1 online
c1t3d0s2 auto:sliced rootmirror rootdg online
c1t4d0s2 auto:cdsdisk data102 data1 online
c1t5d0s2 auto:cdsdisk data103 data1 online


Then when I try to see what the maxsize of the volume that I can create it is much less than the capacity of these disks. BTW, these are 73GB drives and with 4 of them in a RAID5 senerio, I should have around 216GB of space for the volume. Why is it only showing 140GB?

# vxassist -g data1 maxsize layout=raid5 ncol=3
Maximum volume size: 286693376 (139987Mb)

Try using the layout=raid5,nolog instead.
I believe I had a similar issue with a RAID 5 configuration.
