Do you have io-errors in > /var/log/messages? there are no io-errors... but as the hd makes really scary noise when pvmove tries to move the remaining bytes. so i think the hd is damaged. but all i want is to remove the damaged hd. but pvreduce says i have to use pvmove to get rid of the remaining data and pvmove gives the errors... so i can't remove it :/ - is there a way to get rid of the hd without destroying the rest of the data ? sth. like pvreduce --force ? > If so, you will have to modify pvmove to not give up after read-errors. how can i do this ? i'm not a coder but if someone has too much time... ;) > Maybe a '--ignore-read-errors' option should be added? if there's no other way to get rid of the damaged hd... that would be also a way to solve my problem. btw: could there be a problem with using reiserfs on the lvm ? mfg, Florian E.J. Fruth ps: at the moment i try a "dd if=/dev/hdh1 of=/dev/null" to see if it also complains about errors... - -- Backups are usefull. Most often when you don't have one ;) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7mAmk7Xtp66ctWuIRAqdSAJwLKC2Z517hbQow9HX/dKGe+sn9CgCgpWaV ZRo4gIxtkRLdZAfttoKuJDo= =yDmS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
