Yes, I meant the logical volume on the raid controller which is the physical
volume for the LVM. Sorry for the confusion :))

OK, thx, I upgraded my lvm tools and I found the program. I just have to
convince my users now that they can't use the server for a while so I can

Thanks very much for the help from all of you!
