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
