I think there are two potential causes of pvmove erroring out - one is a bug related to the last allocaten extent, and one is actual disk error. I fail to see why reducing the size will solve any problems if the cause is a bad disk - I think you need the patch I mentioned earlier, or a simular fix. --=20 Ragnar Kj=F8rstad Big Storage
