Heinz, thanks for the reply. Looks like I messed that one up. I didn't think of putting down the errors in the first place as the LV was still accessible after I unsuccessfully tried to free up the first PV. I didn't expect to get any problems when the next pvmove's failed so I just went on trying. At least I learned from that, even when that was the hard way. I'll go and see if I was smart enough to backup the correct files from that machine... Thanks anyway, Stefan On Thu, 23 Jan 2003 12:36:58 +0100, Heinz J .
