[linux-lvm] error moving last PE away

[Christian Hammers <ch@westend.com>]

Hi

# pvmove   -v   /dev/hda10  /dev/hda8
...
pvmove -- /dev/hda10 [PE 999 [lvol5 [LE 1365]] -> /dev/hda8 [PE 560] [1/1]
pvmove -- ERROR reading input physical volume "/dev/hda10" (still 65536
bytes to read)
pvmove -- ERROR "pv_move_pe(): read input PV" pv_move_pe
pvmove -- ERROR "pv_move_pe(): read input PV" moving physical extents

I wanted to release this partition from the LVM to use it with another OS.
The error once occured in June 2001 but I couldn't find a solution in the
archives.

Any ideas? More infos below.

bye,
