Let me extend my previously posted message, as I mixed up some error
messages: here are the correct ones:
# lvreduce -L -150G /dev/vg/lv
Can't resize locked LV lv
# pvmove /dev/hdb1 /dev/hdf1
Skipping locked LV lv
No data to move for vg
Anyways I am still looking for an answer what "locked" means and how I
unlock the logical volume.
I am using gentoo with kernel 2.6.17-gentoo-r8.
Once again, thank you for your help in advance
Cheers
Christian

Hi,
I am using LVM2 for some time now and haven't had any troubles.
But this week one of the hard disks, the one I added approx. one month
ago, started to report read/write errors.
I bought a new one and followed the steps of an LVM how-to found on
this website
(http://charlesnadeau.blogspot.com/2006/10/howto-replaceupgrade-disk-part-of-lvm2_04.html).
The first steps worked fine. Even shrinking the reiser file system was
no problem.
But when I tried to pvmove /dev/hdb1 /dev/hdf1, I am getting the error
message: Can't resize locked LV lv.
As there is no available information about what this error message
actually means nor how to resolve it, I hope someone on this list
might be able to help me.
Thank you very much in advance.
Cheers Christian
PS: this is my current configuration. where hdb1 is the failing hdd,
and hdf1 the new one.
