I posted a day or two ago, and as near as I can tell pvmove in LVM 1.0.4 with kernel 2.4.18 is broken. If I apply the 1.0.4 patch generated by PATCHES/Makefile to a stock 2.4.18 kernel, pvmove will crash after moving one PE, every time, regardless of the arrangement of physical volumes, filesystems, etc. Notice that this failure occurs even without a filesystem present in the logical volume, that is I can make a volume group with two disks, create a small LV and pvmove will crash trying to move the PEs. If I follow the exact same installation procedure for LVM 1.0.3, everything works fine. If I use the 1.0.4 toolset with an unpatched stock 2.4.18 kernel, everything works fine. The problem with pvmove is definitely precipitated by installing the auto-generated patch from 1.0.4. Is this working for anyone else? I didn't want to attach the auto-generated patch since it is 70k, but I can provide it if it would help. Thanks, -poul System Specs: RedHat 7.2 w/ 2.4.18 kernel Dual P-II 400 _______________________________________________ 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
