Say your 4G PV is accessed via /dev/sdc1 then you just run "pvmove /dev/sdc1" and it'll search for free space on the other PVs to relocate data to. If your LV(s) with data allocated on /dev/sdc1 are striped, you need to have enough space for the particular stripes on /dev/sdc1 on another PV in the VG, which doesn't have other stripes of the very same LV(s) allocated. > > Regards > Uli > > -- > 'The box said, 'Requires Windows 95 or better', so i installed Linux - TKK 5 > > _______________________________________________ > linux-lvm mailing list > linux-lvm@sistina.com > http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm > read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html -- Regards, Heinz -- The LVM Guy -- *** Software bugs are stupid.
