Sorry, I forgot to mention LVM.

Interesting. Unfortunately my whole system went away in the crash and I cannot reproduce the error again to see what dmstatus table would have reported. But it does look good on the new system with the same kernel AFAICT. aes-root: 0 6291456 linear 9:2 384 aes-root: 6291456 2097152 linear 9:2 887095680 aes-root: 8388608 2097152 linear 9:2 897941888 raidB: 0 586113528 crypt aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 00000000000000000000000000000000 0 9:1 1032 raidA: 0 976771960 crypt aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 00000000000000000000000000000000 0 9:0 1032 > > It does sound from your description like you may have hit a separate > problem since you mention that the pvmove does initially proceed correctly. Check. Is this list the correct place for bug reports or should I resend my mail to dm-devel@ or even lkml? -- noah _______________________________________________ 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/
