Hi!
I'm trying to move PEs away from two PVs (because I want to remove the
disks from the system), but pvmove always fails:
# pvmove /dev/hdd1 /dev/sda3
Wiping cache of LVM-capable devices
Finding volume group "LVM"
Archiving volume group "LVM" metadata (seqno 51).
Creating logical volume pvmove0
Moving 3468 extents of logical volume LVM/data
Found volume group "LVM"
Updating volume group metadata
Creating volume group backup "/etc/lvm/backup/LVM" (seqno 52).
Found volume group "LVM"
Found volume group "LVM"
Suspending LVM-data (253:1)
Found volume group "LVM"
Creating LVM-pvmove0
Loading LVM-pvmove0 table
device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument
ABORTING: Temporary mirror activation failed. Run pvmove --abort.
Found volume group "LVM"
Loading LVM-pvmove0 table
device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument
Loading LVM-data table
device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument
After that the system remains in an unstable state. All [vg|pv|lv]*
commands hang and the LV becomes unaccessible too.
After rebooting and excecuting "pvmove" without any arguments the VG
becomes accessible again and I'm back where I started (without any PE
moved). Trying to move data from another PV makes no difference.
The system's running with Debian Testing and Kernel 2.6.16.16.
Can anyone please help me finding out whats causing this?
ciao
