First off I encourage you to use LVM2 rather than LVM1. An interrupted pvmove can be resumed or aborted after a crash. > 2: does lvm ever get fragmented if one moves data around across different > disks a lot? The extent size is normally so large (4M+) that fragmentation isn't really a big problem with LVM. But we will be making a more general remapping tool in the future that allows you to do this sort of thing. - Joe _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
