It's strange. I need to reduce a disk, either hdg or hdh from the volume group. I've already gone and reduced the allocated size using e2fsadm to change free file system space into free pv allocations. Here is what vgdisplay -v says: --- Physical volumes --- PV Name (#) /dev/hdg1 (4) PV Status available / allocatable Total PE / Free PE 9814 / 0 PV Name (#) /dev/hdh1 (3) PV Status available / allocatable Total PE / Free PE 9815 / 880 PV Name (#) /dev/hde1 (2) PV Status available / allocatable Total PE / Free PE 19078 / 8347 PV Name (#) /dev/hdf1 (6) PV Status available / allocatable Total PE / Free PE 19078 / 5365 Now, I perform the following pvmove command: Pvmove /dev/hdg1 And it says that there are insufficient free/allocatable physical extents. But if I look at the list, the 9814 pvs on hdg1 should be across hdh1, hde1 and hdf1. Have I got this correct? Is there perhaps a step that I'm missing? If I am, do please let me know. Thanks, Erik. _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
