output of the command pvmove -t -vv -d /dev/sdb2 > /tmp/pvmove-test.txt 2>&1 is here (http://terran.noc.astral.ro/pvmove/pvmove-test.txt) then, i ran it without -t, like this: pvmove -vv -d /dev/sdb2 > /tmp/pvmove.txt 2>&1 the output here: http://terran.noc.astral.ro/pvmove/pvmove.txt at first, everything seemed alright, it kept writing the progress in the file. i even ran 'lvs' a couple of times: [root@watchdog tmp]# lvs LV VG Attr LSize Origin Snap% Move Move% . . . pvmove0 watchdog p-C-ao 72.22G /dev/sdb2 4.15 watchdog_root watchdog -wn-ao 5.88G watchdog_var watchdog -wN-ao 72.22G the filesystem on this LV was mounted and used during the pvmove, but this shouldn't be a problem, right? i kept an eye on it, it did it's job for around 67%, then it hung, the system was not responding, any command failed, i had to reboot. after the reboot the whole thing started all over again, from the beginning. but there is nothing in the logs that would indicate a problem.
