I have a large VG with one giant LV on, a week or two ago one PV died a horrible and hopefully painful death. I've managed to find a replacement disk for it, the problem is that today I realised it is a measly 21MB smaller than the original disk. Is there any way I can use thisk disk, or do I have to go hunting for a larger one? Are there any other options (no I cannot do the loop-trick to access the data, I dont have 500GB of disks to rescue the data to). Is there someway I can remove the dead PV from the LV. I've been digging through the archives but haven't found any help there. I'm using debian stable with: Logical Volume Manager 1.0.4 Regards Janis _______________________________________________ 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/
