You do this with "pvmove ", being the physical volume you want to remove. You can, if you want, also specify to which PV's the PE's get moved to (see manpage). If i am not mistaken, this can even be done without unmounting the filesystem(s). Dont forget to remove the PV from your VG before you remove the drive. have fun, Nils --=20 > Nils Juergens | nils@muon.de | icq 7090774 < > If we all work hard, we can turn this company < > around 360 degrees -- gruntbert(LOTD) <
