(you can search filez for them later if u want - and have enough time ;) tools/pvmove.c: replace: int buffer_size = 64*1024; with: int buffer_size = 512; this is an advantage to your patch, because pvmove then copys only 512 byte-blocks and if there's only one block damaged u don't loose 64kb data. this has one disadvantage: it's SLOW... and slower than that ;) so change the source and do a static compiling: ./configure --enable-static_link ; make u can then use the normal pvmove to move your partitions and if there is an error u can use the (patched) tools/pvmove program for bad-block moving. worked find for me and i saw that only one 512 byte block was damaged. fejf ps: i used lvm 0.9.1b7 but it should look and work similar with other versions but i think a diff is not the best for it ;) - -- 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 iD8DBQE7nACM7Xtp66ctWuIRAgg7AKCBCVB/SPRCLjP9i5oHuf6vgx1u9wCeOmzP ky+sZgdG6iVcPrN9Ufgl5L8= =Mfig -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
