I am afraid it’s striped. But is
there a way that I can verify it. And I was thinking about backing all the
data on the faulty drive to an external hard drive. But unfortunately, the
faulty drive holds /boot and /. I will try to copy the data to the
external hard drive, but not sure if it works or not. Thanks From:

volume is using the disks in the volume group. If it is striped for using both
disks, then your only choice is to backup the data somewhere else, do vgreduce
and then rebuild the logical volume. But if you didn’t strip your logical
volume (the default is to be truncated) then you should be able to just free
the disk from volume group. From:

the volume group such that it only contains one pv which is hdb1. Can you
please tell me how to do that? Thanks From:

linux-lvm-bounces@redhat.com [mailto:linux-lvm-bounces@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Joann Deng Hello, My system is a Sun Fire X 2100 with RHEL 4.0. It has two 80G
ATA SCSI disks. Right now, one of them is failing, and I need to remove it off
the LVM Group. Here is the LVM layout: # df -k Filesystem

“df –k”, I don’t know why I only have 160MB PE free. I tried “pvmove /dev/sdb1”, got the error
message “insufficient suitable contiguous allocatable extents for
