Striping

[Mag0007]

I am looking at this:

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/eserver/library/es-aix5l-lvm.html

How do I know if a filesystem/lv is striped on AIX?
I am assuming if a LV lies on 2 disks, it is considered striped, right?

You can find using the command lslv (lvname)...there you can see striped size if the LV is striped.

As my friend xyz is saying.

No it doesn't have to be unless you specify the stirp size in the mklv

You can view man mklv to read more about it. This comment is taken from the man mklv:

  4. When creating a striped logical volume using the -S flag, you must specify
     two or more physical volumes or use the -u flag.
  5. When creating a striped logical volume, the number of partitions must be an
     even multiple of the striping width.

Good luck

you can view how the Physical Partitions are setup on the LV by using
lslv -m $lvname |pg
Its a bit of long way round but allows you to see how the lv is setup over the disks.
