Guys, I have a volume made up by two SATA disks, one 80g other 250g. The 80g is dying and I'm about to replace it. The volume is mounted as the root fs. This is my plan, can you tell me if I'm on the right track? 1) empty at least 80g in the volume 2) reboot, mount readonly and resize the reiserfs to 80gb less than current (this is, to 250g) 3) pvmove /dev/old_disk 4) reboot 5) take the old disk out While the system boots and works more-or-less, when trying to open some files I get input/output errors: what will happen when pvmove tries to move the sector containing this file? After the pvmove the system shouldn't be in a worse condition that it's now, right? thanks! -- Martin Sarsale - martin@malditainternet.com _______________________________________________ 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/
