Kalle, well that's a bug in 1.0.3 which will be fixed in 1.0.4. If you wnat to try it at your own risk, check out LVM1 CVS and try "pvmove -i" again. 1.0.4 will hopefully be released this week :) Regards, Heinz -- The LVM Guy -- On Fri, Mar 08, 2002 at 04:40:19PM +0100, kalle@idlar.nu wrote: > Hello > > I have built a VG from a couple of disks and have now discovered that one > disk is not working right.
