I encountered what I was able to diagnose as a hardware error on one of the hard drives in my system. In order to make sure my data was safe, I added an additional drive, and performed a pvmove of the data onto the healthy drive (moving all the PE's off the bad disk). That all went fairly well (except for taking forever). However, I still have a few files which are giving me troubles. root@vpn:/home/vpnwork# rm -R TestData2k rm: cannot remove `TestData2k': Input/output error Is there a way to remove these files so that I can recreate them? I'm using LVM version 1.0.1-rc4, on a Linux kernel 2.5.0.
