Subject: [linux-lvm] pvmove unable to move extents to multiple smaller pvs
Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2004 00:18:28 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <415A53B4.60001@theserrs.net> (raw)

I'm trying to use pvmove to shuffle things around.  I have a pv with 
22375 extents which I would like to remove from the system.  I've added 
two (2) pvs with 11194 extents each.  I get an error message:

Insufficient contiguous allocatable extents (11194) for logical volume 
pvmove0: 22375 required
Allocation for temporary pvmove LV

Now before you say, don't make it contiguous... It seems that it isn't 
already.

# lvchange --contiguous n /dev/data_vg/data_lv
Allocation policy of logical volume "data_lv" is already not contiguous

Is this normal?  Do I really need all that contiguous space on 1 pv?

Thanks in advance,
Scott Serr
