It was reproducable at the time - now the disk in question has been replaced. If it's interesting enough, I can make a phone call and see if I can get the broken disk back. The error_occured in the pe_lock() call at the beginning of the move-operation - the one that I commented out in patch. This is the kernel-log from the time (well, I think it was from the time I ran pe_move): Sep 6 18:10:01 argus kernel: hdd: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Sep 6 18:10:01 argus kernel: hdd: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=155058176, sector=0 Sep 6 18:10:01 argus kernel: lvm -- lvm_blk_ioctl: unknown command 587 Sep 6 18:10:01 argus kernel: hdd: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Sep 6 18:10:01 argus kernel: hdd: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=155058176, sector=0 Sep 6 18:10:01 argus kernel: lvm -- lvm_blk_ioctl: unknown command 587 and: Sep 6 18:15:51 argus kernel: lvm -- lvm_blk_ioctl: unknown command 587 Sep 6 18:15:55 argus last message repeated 213 times Sep 6 18:15:55 argus kernel: hdd: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest E rror } Sep 6 18:15:55 argus kernel: hdd: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=11801433 2, sector=118014332 Sep 6 18:15:55 argus kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 16:40 (hdd), sector 118014332 The kernel is standard 2.4.8 without the LVM-patches.
