    Hello

    I set up the virtualization host with a drive of 200G and went through the default installation, did not change the partition table at all

    I checked with the df -h command and I should have more than 100G free:

    [root@rhv-h ~]# df -h
    Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    devtmpfs 7.7G 0 7.7G 0% /dev
    tmpfs 7.8G 16K 7.8G 1% /dev/shm
    tmpfs 7.8G 18M 7.8G 1% /run
    tmpfs 7.8G 0 7.8G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
    /dev/mapper/rhvh-rhvh--4.4.6.1--0.20210527.0+1 122G 3.6G 119G 3% /
    /dev/mapper/rhvh-tmp 1014M 40M 975M 4% /tmp
    /dev/mapper/rhvh-home 1014M 40M 975M 4% /home
    /dev/nvme0n1p1 1014M 278M 737M 28% /boot
    /dev/mapper/rhvh-var 15G 208M 15G 2% /var
    /dev/mapper/rhvh-var_log 8.0G 98M 7.9G 2% /var/log
    /dev/mapper/rhvh-var_crash 10G 105M 9.9G 2% /var/crash
    /dev/mapper/rhvh-var_log_audit 2.0G 51M 2.0G 3% /var/log/audit
    tmpfs 1.6G 0 1.6G 0% /run/user/0

    When I try to following this guide to prepare the local storage on the host:

    https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/html/administration_guide/sect-preparing_and_adding_local_storage

    When I try to enter the following command I get this error:

    [root@rhv-h ~]# lvcreate -L 80G rhvh -n data
    Volume group "rhvh" has insufficient free space (9757 extents): 20480 required.

    I checked the vgs and:

    [root@rhv-h ~]# vgs
    VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
    rhvh 1 10 0 wz--n- 199.00g 38.11g

    I have no idea why there is only 38G free for this volume group when on the df command there is more than a 100G free

    Could someone help?

    Im running virtualization host 4.4.6

    Thanks!
