I have a volume group called storage consisting of 2 partitions (PV's) with 2 TB each (let's call them A and B). I added a third partition (let's call it C) using vgextend. Now I did a pvmove A to move A's content to C but recognized that it would take a long time so I canceled the pvmove pressing ctrl-c. After that I saw that some data was already written on the formerly empty PV C. I tried to pvmove this new pv out of the volume group, but pvmove refuses to work with the following error: Skipping locked LV storage Skipping mirror LV pvmove0 No data to move for storage There is an additional LV on the VG now called pvmove0. I dont understand what pvmove does, but this LV seems to be a mirror. Does this mean that everything is still on the old PV and I can delete the LV pvmove0? The VG in total seems to be ok. How can I unlock the volume and free the pv? Any help is greatly appreciated. Best regards, Sebastian
