hi guys,
I have a system with two SATA disks and I have LVM on the disks. I
use sdparm (sdparm -C stop /dev/sdb) to spin-down one of them. It
works fine and I can hear the disk spinning down and all...But when
I run any LVM command, say lvscan or whatever, I get lots of error
messages:
What did you expect? :)
If the volume group is active when you remove/spin down the disks LVM
has no way of knowing that you wanted to do that. To the software, it
just looks like a drive has failed or gone away while it was in use.

Input/output error /dev/sdb4: read failed after 0 of 2048 at 0:
Input/output error Even when I physically remove the disk it still
happens. Is there any way I can stop LVM from querying both disks
or at least to stop displaying the error messages?
Tell LVM to stop using the disk first. See the man page for vgchange
for full details but you want to run:
vgchange -an <volume group>
To deactivate the volume group *before* you start removing devices
that it is using.

Bryn.
