Oh confound it! I cleaned off a bunch of junk on my array to reduce total usage to two drives. I pvmoved the other two drives and reduced the logical volume. Then I reduced the volume group to eliminate those two drives. I went to resize the reiserfs, but here's what I get: [root@fileserver archive]# resize_reiserfs /dev/vg0/lv0 resize_reiserfs 3.6.19 (2003 www.namesys.com) bread: Cannot read the block (2): (Invalid argument). reiserfs_open: bread failed reading block 2 bread: Cannot read the block (16): (Invalid argument). reiserfs_open: bread failed reading block 16 reiserfs_open: the reiserfs superblock cannot be found on /dev/vg0/lv0. but PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/hde4 vg0 lvm2 a- 179.75G 0 /dev/hdg1 lvm2 -- 172.55G 172.55G /dev/hdi lvm2 -- 152.67G 152.67G /dev/hdk1 vg0 lvm2 a- 233.76G 37.81G and again: VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree vg0 2 1 0 wz--n 413.51G 37.81G and finally: LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Copy% lv0 vg0 -wi-s- 375.70G What caused this to die? Just after I got DVD-R's too! :( _______________________________________________ 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/
