Hi

I'm trying to remove a PV from a VG but I'm unable to perform the pvmove because the free PE doesn't match the free space on the VG.. at all.
Who do you come to this conlusion??? vgdisplay shows 677 free PE's and the only free PE in your PV is 677 on /dev/sdb1. So what???

The free PEs have nothing to do with the df output. You have to shrink your filesystem (what might be not possible, not all fs's support this) to get as much free PE's as your PV has.

Ex.: You wanna remove /dev/sdb1, shrink your filesystem to (size - 16.87 GB, or better less ;-) ), shrink your LV the same way, pvmove the extends on the PV, remove the PV from the VG.

check output below, anyone has a clue why ? and how to correct this ?
