Hi everyone,
Judging by the archives, a few others have seen this issue, but I'm
getting errors when I try to pvmove off a PV to remove it from my VG:
root@turalyon:~# pvmove -v /dev/hda2

I noticed one post that indicated pvmove requires snapshot support,
which I don't normally use. Before running this pvmove, I modprobed
all of the dm-* modules just to make sure.
The box in question is running Ubuntu Edgy Eft on i386. I've been
able to recover just fine from this by rebooting, running pvmove
--abort, and then rebooting again.
Obviously this prevents me from removing the volume though. Thanks in
advance for any help!
