I'm moving my data from the old server, kernel 2.4 and lvm1. To a new server, kernel 2.6 and lvm2. I thought I'd start by removing hdd1. It's 80gb and I have about 111gb free. pvmove --test /dev/hdd1 pvmove -- couldn't find source physical volume "/dev/hdd1" in volume group "vg_main" I have /dev/vg_main/storagelv as the drive I wanna take the space from. pvdisplay /dev/hdd1 works, total pe's 3575 would the best way of doing this be: lvreduce -l-3575 /dev/vg_main/storagelv resize_reiserfs /dev/vg_main/storagelv (I think reiserfs can do online resizing?) then umount /mnt/storage pvmove /dev/hdd1 vgreduce /dev/hdd1 ? I wanna make damn sure I get this right before I do it. _______________________________________________ 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/
