I'm trying to reduce a logical vol so that I can remove a HD from it. However, I get errors with pvmove but I don't know why. I saw some old postings with a kernel patch but the URL is extinct. I'm running Fedora: Linux xxx.phy.umist.ac.uk 2.6.22.1-41.fc7 #1 SMP Fri Jul 27 18:21:43 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux chris@veri:~$ sudo /usr/sbin/pvdisplay /dev/sdb1 Password: --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sdb1 VG Name VolGroup00 PV Size 698.64 GB / not usable 10.34 MB Allocatable yes PE Size (KByte) 32768 Total PE 22356 Free PE 19156 Allocated PE 3200 PV UUID xDWUQB-wdEx-AtEs-YFkh-BKBR-7Jgd-9ik3p0 chris@veri:~$ sudo /usr/sbin/pvdisplay /dev/sda2 --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sda2 VG Name VolGroup00 PV Size 465.66 GB / not usable 3.56 MB Allocatable yes PE Size (KByte) 32768 Total PE 14901 Free PE 14839 Allocated PE 62 PV UUID GLGcHf-b3Ga-M61f-okkW-HaAk-Al7P-leVK91 chris@veri:~$ sudo /usr/sbin/pvmove /dev/sdb1 Failure parsing mirror status fraction: 1 core Failure parsing mirror status fraction: 1 core ABORTING: Mirror percentage check failed. _______________________________________________ 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/
