I have a bad disk (hdl1) that needs to be replaced. It is 40GB, or 1220 PE's. I have another disk which is about 120GB, but has 1221 free PE's. Both disks are in the same VG, Server and the same LV,
FTPRoot. When I try "pvmove -v /dev/hdl1" it failes (doesn't even start, really) and tells me I haven't any free PE's.
What can I have missed...
1) I shrick the filesystem first with about 60GB
2) I use lvreduce to shrick the LV with about 59GB
3) I tried "pvmove -v /dev/hdl" to move all PE's on this 40GB disk to the free ones on the other disks. This should have worked, shoudln't it?
have I missed something critical?

Anders,
is your LV striped? In this case, pvmove complains because it can't
move 2 stripes onto one PV.
If so, you need another disk to be pvcreated/vgextend to your VG in order
to pvmove data over.

No, my LV is not striped, so this should have worked. Well.. I have bought another disk and will move all pe's to that one instead. Hopefully this will work better.

Well... here is what the problem is right now.:
First I scan all physical disks to determine where I have free space to grow..
pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hdo1" of VG "Server" [55.84 GB / 0 free]

pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hdl1" of VG "Server" [55.84 GB / 0 free]
pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hdg1" of VG "Server" [55.88 GB / 0 free]
pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hdh1" of VG "Server" [55.88 GB / 0 free]
pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hde1" of VG "Server" [114.44 GB / 38.16 GB free]
pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hdf1" of VG "Server" [57.22 GB / 0 free]
pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hdc1" of VG "Server" [71.53 GB / 0 free]
pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hdd1" of VG "Server" [71.53 GB / 0 free]
pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hdb1" of VG "Server" [4.28 GB / 0 free]
pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hdb3" of VG "Server" [52.88 GB / 0 free]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I use "lvextend -l +1221 /dev/Server/FTPRoot /dev/hde1" to grow my LV "FTPRoot". It worked fine on my new disk (to wich I also moved the old PE's from the bad disk), but not on this one. What
can be the problem. Where should I even begin to look?
lvextend -- extending logical volume "/dev/Server/FTPRoot" to 814.56 GB
lvextend -- not enough free/allocatable physical extents to extend logical volume /dev/Server/FTPRoot
Thanks for any help!

Hmmm,
we didn't talk about versions.
Which Linux/LVM version are you using?
Another point (assuming that you might siffer from an old OBO error):
does the extent still fail with less than 1221 extents?

I currently use RedHat 7.2 with kernel 2.4.18-4, but I have tested most kernel versions from 2.4.16. I am also using lvm 1.0.1.
I have tried to move all extents and just a few (or even one) extents with no luck... Could it be that this disk is 120GB (114,44) and there would be some problems with that?

Hmmm.., shouldn't be the case.
Could you send me all the metadata of your VG "server" attached in private email
(mge@sistina.com) for further investigation?
You can create the copies running this script:
#!/bin/sh
for d in $(pvscan|sed '/server1/!d;s!^.* PV "!!;s!" .*$!!'); do
dd if=$d of=$(basename $d).VGDA bs=1k count=512
done
Thanks,
Heinz
