Hello mates!

I'm a new user on Proxmox, trying to mess around a bit:
trying to create a logical volume i'm facing a "free space" error an cannot figure why:

# vgdisplay
--- Volume group ---
VG Name pve
System ID
Format lvm2
Metadata Areas 1
Metadata Sequence No 87
VG Access read/write
VG Status resizable
MAX LV 0
Cur LV 8
Open LV 5
Max PV 0
Cur PV 1
Act PV 1
VG Size 953.37 GiB
PE Size 4.00 MiB
Total PE 244062
Alloc PE / Size 239967 / 937.37 GiB
Free PE / Size 4095 / 16.00 GiB
VG UUID M50BCR-bzT0-PQ2r-4GEj-6qzx-0C8M-yaoMWN

# lvcreate -L 25G -n logs pve
Volume group "pve" has insufficient free space (4095 extents): 6400 required.

Any idea why?
