Thank you for helping me !

this is the output from current svn:

And then I changed disk_config to set sda2 to 3000MB but that didn't help:


disk_config sda
primary /boot 500 - -
primary -       3000    -       -

disk_config lvm
vg my_pv        sda2
my_pv-_root     /       2048    ext3 rw -0 dir_index,resize_inode

Volume group my_pv requires 2.25179981368525e+15 MB, but available space was estimated to be 2966.53403320313

And another try with sda2 and my_pv-_root set to 1024MB:

disk_config sda
primary /boot 500 - -
primary -       1024    -       -

disk_config lvm
vg my_pv        sda2
my_pv-_root     /       1024    ext3 rw -0 dir_index,resize_inode

Volume group my_pv requires 1.12589990684262e+15 MB, but available space was estimated to be 1009.55346679688

Was this helpful ?
