-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 LVM 2.02.66-4ubuntu7 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: The man page for pvmove says it creates many temporary mirror segments to sync each segment then breaks the mirror and mirrors the next segment, thus allowing the move to be resumed after a reboot approximately where it left off. This does not appear to be the case. Looking at dmsetup table during a move of two logical volumes, there is one mirror segment for the entire logical volume being moved, and a linear for the next logical volume. So it appears that logical volumes are copied as a whole unit and a reboot will restart the copy from the beginning. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRG7SKAAoJEJrBOlT6nu75v9EIANJebrBr5xmUEVV6yp0Kd7pT rYqmpt3+VTvp433IgNQ+AaFyP637Bi14EZc9j+2KHas7nw9aNCPcqYSry5VvqyXG 1VMu5v3/af8f49KauZnMyFPkfroIBWOpzCe1d3XcyRHrzNCbnosYhLP2V6VsbOh8 Vs7DcJhJjxnCsSKfvQ6SoQZmQeGwe+DHxoUpAB2kXuRf1JTBFlu5VB90ETGmLTyr WAW5SgFiv0F87w72MDxH8AFdNu80tQSjqXSiKcCNsGgvldncGu/wPbFjWDBTa7R4 /vsbsD10Kg64QZCLobie75uBC2cdLB2a4LFDVei4rwNEd/Ofs3Pt0uSG64IF0ao= =iRzK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 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/
