Size Discrepancies

I created a new partition totaling 29.7GB in size. I then created a physical volume using pvcreate and added it to volume group archvol. Now it says the total size is 27.62. What happened to the 2GB?

Re: Size Discrepancies

Maybe nothing.  What tool told you the partition was 29.7 GB, and what tool says the total size is now 27.6?  That's quite close to what I would expect if the first measurement used powers of 10 (1 GB = 1000000000 bytes) and the second powers of 2 (1 GB = 1073741824 bytes).
