problem in RAID1 + lvm in ubuntu 8.04...

I think the output of fdisk -l,  df -h, and vgdisplay might help us
make sure we understand what you did....

I would like to jot down series of command to configure this and eventually
other statistical information below it.

As I have already mentioned my hardware details I three disks detected as

/dev/sda(OS is installed here)= 16GB, /dev/sdb(sdb1 = 45GB sdb2=28GB),
dev/sdc(sdc1=45GB, sdc2=27GB)

So intially I created RAID 1 using /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1 as follows
mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb1 missing

Then I added the /dev/sdc1 as mirror to the RAID array as follows
mdadm --manage --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdc1

Then everything went successful and I could able to see /dev/md0 created.

Then configured LVM as follows
I took the RAID array, 2nd partition of 2nd disk 28GB and 2nd partition of
3rd disk(28GB).
pvcreate /dev/md0 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdc2

Then created volume group as follows
vgcreate UnicornData /dev/md0 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdc2

Then created logical volumes wih desired names as follows
lvcreate --name home --size 25GB UnicornData

I have created many logical volumes like that. Then to test one of the
logical volume a filesystem ids created one of them as follows
mkfs.ext3 -m 0 -T largefile /dev/UnicornData/home

Then I have mounted the logical volume to use it and added entry in
/etc/fstab  to retain the mount operation across  reboots. 

mkdir /ukp/home
mount /dev/mapper/UnicornData-home  /ukp/home

Entry in /etc/fstab is "/dev/mapper/UnicornData-home /ukp/home/ ext3
rw,noatime 0 0"

Now below are the commands that I executed to check for sanity.

/* I have already copied some data from a remote box. And it shown some
error like "no space left on the device. hence the disk is filled to some
extent. But still so much space still available.
df -k /ukp/home
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/UnicornData-home
                      26209468    963084  25246384   4% /ukp/home

Finally the error I am facing.

touch a
touch: cannot touch `a': No space left on device

Do let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks for replying the previous post.

Thanks
