-----Original Message----- From: Alasdair G Kergon Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2008 7:31 PM Making sure you know which are original and which are snapshot, run pvchange -u on the snapshot ones, then vgchange -u and vgrename. Use a filter in lvm.conf (env var LVM_SYSTEM_DIR to use different one if this is an automated process, not a one-off) or with --config on each command so only the snapshot devices are visible. Alasdair _______________________________________________ I made a copy of /etc/lvm/lvm.conf to /tmp-lvm.conf, changed the filter line to this: Filter = [ "a|/dev/sdf|", "a|/dev/sdg|", "a|/dev/sdh|", "a|/dev/sdi|", "r|.*|" ] (sdf, sdg, sdh, and sdi are all snapshot devices of the vg) And then I ran "sudo /usr/sbin/pvchange --config /tmp-lvm.conf -u /dev/sdf1" but I get this error: Parse error at byte 14 (line 1): unexpected token Failed to set overridden configuration entries. Run `pvchange --help' for more information. Am I maybe using the --config option wrong?
