hi,all i have a DELL PE2800 server with 10 300GB disks.i make 3 PV which are 3 RAID0.then a LV cross the whole 3 PV. now , one of RAID0 is unstable. so i want to change disk. but i can't lose data. here is 'df' information: /dev/mapper/nicvg-niclv 2.0T 774G 1.2T 40% /ftproot and here is 'pvscan' information: ftp:~# pvscan /dev/hda: open failed: No medium found PV /dev/sdb1 VG nicvg lvm2 [838.09 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/sdc1 VG nicvg lvm2 [558.72 GB / 0 free] PV /dev/sdd1 VG nicvg lvm2 [558.72 GB / 0 free] Total: 3 [1.91 TB] / in use: 3 [1.91 TB] / in no VG: 0 [0 ] the unstable PV is /dev/sdb1 i want to move data from /dev/sdb1 to the reset PV such as /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdd1. i think the disk space is enough . but when i use command 'pvmove -v /dev/sdb1' i got wrong info: ftp:~# pvmove -v /dev/sdb1 Finding volume group "nicvg" No extents available for allocation my question is : the reset of disk space is 1.2TB but why 'pvscan' say free space is zero? why i can't move data? how can i solve the problem? don't say add another disk to the server. i had added 10 disks to it and there is no space to plug even one. _______________________________________________ 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/
