I have a LVM made out of 7 partitions and a total space of approx 760GB. One of the drived is a 200GB drive and I would like to take that out of the lvm to use it for something else. Easy enough I thought. I made sure that there was 260GB free on the lvm (using df) and then I unmounted the lvm and did this: pvmove /dev/hdh1 Now, according to all I have found that should do it. But, it comes back and tells me that there is not enough free space to do the operation. When I do a pvscan it shows the following: pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hdl1" of VG "vol1" [76.66 GB / 0 free] pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hdi1" of VG "vol1" [115 GB / 0 free] pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hdj1" of VG "vol1" [71.53 GB / 0 free] pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hdg1" of VG "vol1" [57.22 GB / 0 free] pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hdh1" of VG "vol1" [189.88 GB / 0 free] pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hde1" of VG "vol1" [115 GB / 0 free] pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/hdf1" of VG "vol1" [115 GB / 0 free] pvscan -- total: 7 [740.58 GB] / in use: 7 [740.58 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0] Now, why in the world does it show 0 free on all the PV's when a df told me that there were at least 260GB free on the lvm. Am I doing something wrong or ? Any help will be most appreciated. Best regards. Rene
