Hi List, I need to move all the data off of my external scsi array and remove it from my volume group. The external array is /dev/cciss/c1d0p0, so I issued a pvmove with the following results: >/sbin/sh-2.05b# pvmove --version >pvmove: Logical Volume Manager 1.0.8-2 >Heinz Mauelshagen, Red Hat 26/05/2004 (IOP 10) > >/sbin/sh-2.05b# pvscan >pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) >pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/cciss/c1d0p1" of VG "Volume0" [99.99 GB / 99.99 GB Free] >pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/cciss/c0d0p2" of VG "Volume0" [136.61 GB / 68.89 GB Free] >pvscan -- total: 2 [236.62 GB] / in use: 2 [236.62 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0] > >/sbin/sh-2.05b# pvmove /dev/cciss/c1d0p1 >pvmove -- moving physical extents in active volume group "Volume0" >pvmove -- WARNING: if you lose power during the move you may need to restore your LVM metadata from backup! >pvmove -- do you want to continue?

Any ideas? Need to get this drive out of the VG asap.
