Thanks for looking into this - I verified my results on a third machine, this one a single CPU P-III, 1Ghz running RedHat 7.2. In case I am doing something really silly, these are the exact steps I did to reproduce the problem - notice that /dev/hdc is a 10Gig disk which I partitioned into two equal 5-gig partitions and tagged as type 8e: unpack 2.4.18 kernel into /usr/src/linux-2.4.18_lvm-1.0.4 cd into LVM-1.0.4 source ./configure --with-kernel_dir=/usr/src/linux-2.4.18_lvm-1.0.4 cd PATCHES make cd into kernel source patch -p1 < /usr/local/src/LVM/1.0.4/PATCHES/lvm-1.0.4-2.4.18.patch make menuconfig enable LVM as a module in Multiple devices driver support disable sound card support disable usb support edit kernel Makefile and set EXTRAVERSION = _lvm-1.0.4 make dep && make && make modules && make modules_install mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18_lvm-1.0.4.img 2.4.18_lvm-1.0.4 edit lilo.conf and add entry for new kernel make install cd into LVM-1.0.4 source make make install reboot into new kernel, single-user mode vgscan pvcreate /dev/hdc1 /dev/hdc2 vgcreate vg0 /dev/hdc1 /dev/hdc2 lvcreate -L 100M -n lv0 vg0 vgdisplay -v (see below for output) pvmove -v /dev/hdc1 The pvmove asks if I am sure, moves one PE and then hangs. OK, I'm ready to feel silly :) Thanks again - everything else in LVM 1.0.4 is working great for me, but I just can't get pvmove to work. -poul Output of vgdisplay -v: --- Volume group --- VG Name vg0 VG Access read/write VG Status available/resizable VG # 0 MAX LV 256 Cur LV 1 Open LV 0 MAX LV Size 255.99 GB Max PV 256 Cur PV 2 Act PV 2 VG Size 9.52 GB PE Size 4 MB Total PE 2436 Alloc PE / Size 25 / 100 MB Free PE / Size 2411 / 9.42 GB VG UUID Qa6d0F-ATIc-5nIU-iL3X-e1Hj-2jpx-H8cPJN --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/vg0/lv0 VG Name vg0 LV Write Access read/write LV Status available LV # 1 # open 0 LV Size 100 MB Current LE 25 Allocated LE 25 Allocation next free Read ahead sectors 1024 Block device 58:0 --- Physical volumes --- PV Name (#) /dev/hdc1 (1) PV Status available / allocatable Total PE / Free PE 1218 / 1193 PV Name (#) /dev/hdc2 (2) PV Status available / allocatable Total PE / Free PE 1218 / 1218 _______________________________________________ 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
