739.0. "6gb volume only produces 3gb stripe" by MARVEL::NICHOLSONA (one suite too many can cause truth decay) Wed Jan 22 1997 07:08

A variation on a theme:

One of my customers has 6 RZ26s (1GB) striped into a 6GB volume. (They're also 
mirrored, but I think that's irrelevant for this question.) They want to replace 
one of the RZ26s with an RZ29 (4GB) and restripe them all for a total of a 9GB 
volume.

Will LSM do this uneven stripe, or will 3GB of the RZ29 be wasted? From .1, I 
suppose the answer is that striping can only be done in equal parts, and the 
extra 3GB on the RZ29 is going to have to be included some other way, like 
concatentating it to the stripe set, or using AdvFS utilities, or something.

Yes?

    Your supposition is correct.  You have have to find some other way to
    use the remaining 3GB.
