But during this transition time, I've started getting some were symptoms. Now when I do a "pvs", I see: # pvs /dev/dm-1: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/sdb1 Home lvm2 a- 888.48G 0 /dev/sdb2 Home lvm2 a- 888.48G 640.96G /dev/sdb3 Home lvm2 a- 584.87G 584.87G # vgs /dev/dm-1: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree Home 3 7 6 wz--n- 2.31T 1.20T # lvs /dev/dm-1: read failed after 0 of 4096 at 0: Input/output error lvol0 Home -wi-ao 1.00T ----------------------------------------------- So, the "output of the commands looks mostly 'right', as near as I can tell: 3 physical volumes, -> 1 volume group with the 3 volumes, and 1 logical volume taking up space in that pv (only using part of the space). What I don't get and what worries me a fair amount are the I/O errors -- any idea what's going on and how I shoudl fix this? Thanks much! linda
