Well, that is the reason for my wish to extend that VG. So that I can copy data from my failing disk: Feb 12 16:12:55 tui smartd[5958]: Device: /dev/hde, 4 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors Feb 12 16:12:55 tui smartd[5958]: Device: /dev/hde, 1 Offline uncorrectable sectors /dev/hda and /dev/hdg only report changes in attributes 8 and 209 (Seek_Time_Performance and Offline_Seek_Performnce). I don't thik that is a problem. I'm still quite puzzled as to why I can't crate physical volumes on /dev/hdg9 and /dev/hdg10, when /dev/hdg7 and /dev/hdg8 work fine... It can't possibly be down to the filters, as the program suggested?
