Some people have suggested using a kernel with the latest dm patches, which I tried and which failed. About the only answer I have is to have enough spare disk to move everything over and remove the lv's residing on those pv's, reorganise them and then move everything back. I think that the unpleasent answer here is that LVM2 is *not* ready for the enterprise user... sadly I've already deployed it.

Yup, likewise; I was there about a month ago and it still doesn't work... > Can anyone please tell me why I am getting this problem and > how to solve it? I strongly doubt that you'll get any help out of the list on this, but if someone does send you a fix which works, off-list, *please* send it to me too; I have two failing disks which I need to decommission. Thanks! (I'm hoping against hope that there really is a fix for this, and if theres anyone who would know, they'd be on this list. So if noone on this list comes up with a fix, I'd submit that LVM2 should absolutely NOT be used on production systems (until there *is* a fix: LVM is great in principle)). _______________________________________________ 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/
