Subject: Re: [linux-lvm] pvmove unable to move extents to multiple smaller pvs
Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2004 14:02:47 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <415B14E7.1010401@theserrs.net> (raw)

Some more information that may be of use:
kernel 2.4.26 (vanilla) on gentoo on a P4 HT and SMP is enabled
lvm 2.00.08

It seems that everytime I do a "pvmove" it would be hard to always go to 
a contiguous pv the same size or bigger.  This is why I wonder if I'm 
doing something wrong.

Thanks again [to anyone out there],
Scott Serr
