Hello, I have an old linux server running RH9. The system has two scsi disks, one of which shows scsi-errors for a few sectors. I mapped these disk sectors to one PE, number 00097 on PV sda2 (LE 00097 on vg00/lvol02). I tried to move this LE to different PV (sdb1), using command: pvmove -v -i -n lvol02:97 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb1 However, moving fails with the following errors: ... pvmove -- /dev/sda2 [PE 97 [lvol02 [LE 97]] -> /dev/sdb1 [PE 1946] [1/1] /dev/Volume00/group::/dev/Volume00/lvol02: 0802 803200, 0811 15950208 pvmove -- ERROR "Input/output error" copying extent from "/dev/sda2" pvmove -- ERROR "Input/output error" moving physical extents and as a result LE was not moved. I would expect this to work as I used the -i -option (--ignore_read_errors). pvmove result code is 23 (error moving physical extent(s)). Moving the PE to working disk would allow me to run fsck and repair the filesystem. Of course some of the data would be corrupt, because of the read errors. Well, this is irrelevant, the point is, that -i -option seems not to work. I know this is old LVM1 version, with little or no maintenance. Kernel and LVM utility versions are as follows: kernel-2.4.20-46.9.legacy lvm-1.0.3-12.1.legacy Example SCSI error: scsi0: ERROR on channel 0, id 0, lun 0, CDB: Read (10) 00 00 0f 8d 8b 00 03 c2 00 Info fld=0xf8d8b, Current sd08:02: sense key Medium Error Additional sense indicates Data synchronization mark error I/O error: dev 08:02, sector 810430 BR, Ville _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
