Mauelshagen 0 siblings, 1 reply; 9+ messages in thread From: Anders Widman @ 2002-01-16 0:53 UTC (permalink / raw) To: linux-lvm 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 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

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.

Could it be that this disk is 120GB (114,44) and there would be some problems with that? Hmmm.., shouldn't be the case.
