Cannot create volumes if the metadata size for physical volume and volume group is small
Volumes cannot be created if the metadata size that is provided for physical volume and the volume group is not sufficient.
To resolve this issue, provide the sufficient metadata size while creating the physical volume and the volume group.
To check the metadata size of the volume, run the following commands:
pvdisplay -C -o name,mda_size,mda_free vgdisplay -C -o name,mda_size,mda_free
While creating a physical volume or the volume group, run the following command to set the metadata size:
pvcreate - metadatasize <metadata size>
For example,pvcreate --metadatasize 1g
