Hi, using Kernel 2.4.18+XFS 1.1+LVM 1.1rc2+VFS lock I want to move an LV to a different PV to move the currently unprotected data to a mirrored device. I entered the following line as root (no su -): # pvmove --version pvmove: Logical Volume Manager 1.1-rc1 Heinz Mauelshagen, Sistina Software 15/03/2002 (IOP 10) # pvmove /dev/vg00/lv_swap /dev/hda1 /dev/md0 pvmove -- ERROR "pv_read(): device major number" reading source physical volume "/dev/vg00/lv_swap" The mentioned LV is not in use. Same problem with a native disk partition: # pvmove /dev/vg00/lv_swap /dev/hda1 /dev/hdc1 pvmove -- ERROR "pv_read(): device major number" reading source physical volume "/dev/vg00/lv_swap" The root file system is on an LV, too. What's going on here?
