well, simply applying the cast patch to the usertools did not work. i don't need to repatch the kernel, do i? i'm left with the same problem. when attempting a pvmove: a --test works, but the real thing fails: [root@totally80s /root]# pvmove --verbose /dev/hda14 pvmove -- checking name of source physical volume "/dev/hda14" pvmove -- locking logical volume manager pvmove -- reading data of source physical volume from "/dev/hda14" pvmove -- checking volume group existence pvmove -- reading data of volume group "vg0" from lvmtab pvmove -- checking volume group consistency of "vg0" pvmove -- searching for source physical volume "/dev/hda14" in volume group "vg0" pvmove -- building list of possible destination physical volumes pvmove -- checking volume group activity pvmove -- moving physical extents in active volume group "vg0" pvmove -- WARNING: if you lose power during the move you may need to restore your LVM metadata from backup! pvmove -- do you want to continue?
