To easily check this without an unlikely number of devices one can easily follow the path we use for quick tests, here modified for this case:
$ WORKDIR=$(mktemp -d) $ for i in $(seq 1 64); do $ dd bs=1M count=64 if=/dev/zero "of=${WORKDIR}/dev${i}" $ sync $ sudo losetup "/dev/loop${i}" "${WORKDIR}/dev${i}" $ done $ sudo vgcreate --verbose testvg /dev/loop[1-9]* $ sudo lvcreate --extents "128" --stripes "64" --name testlv testvg With that I could confirm zesty being affected and X/Y being ok. ** Changed in: lvm2 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: lvm2 (Ubuntu) Assignee: Skipper Bug Screeners (skipper-screen-team) => ChristianEhrhardt (paelzer) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lvm2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1675770 Title: lvcreate cannot use more than 8 stripes Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems: New Status in lvm2 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Trying to create a logical volume with 64 stripes.
