Hi i have a lvm whit 4 disk on a machine whit lvm2 and kernel 2.6.8.1 . One is dead, i've tried whit pvmove to 2 disk (200 gb -> 120 +80 ) but it die before moving 30 Gb. Now the disk i think is totaly unusable, cfdisk refuse to open it (like opening a non exitent device) and i have this: root@Orange:~# vgscan Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
