I have two volumes, the other volume (vol1) is unaffected. All lvm operations seem to be working on vol1. For vol2 (the one that I executed a pvmove on), I cannot get lvm to recognize it so I cannot perform any lvm operations. -skip Which LVM and Linux version is this ? Does everything else irt LVM with the exception of pvmove ru fine (i.e. creating/removing LVs etc.) ? Regards, Heinz -- The LVM Guy -- On Thu, Feb 06, 2003 at 11:26:44PM +0000, B.
