I can make sure that the end is unused, of course. No such command implemented yet. Hack: you can use LVM2 and change the text format of the metadata by hand before running vgcfgrestore to store it back onto the PVs. If you want to follow this non-supported path, you want to take a copy of the original metadata file in /etc/lvm/backup/ to be able to back out = gain. >=20 > --=20 > M=E5ns Rullg=E5rd > mru@users.sf.net >=20 >=20 > _______________________________________________ > linux-lvm mailing list > linux-lvm@sistina.com > http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm > read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ --=20 Regards, Heinz -- The LVM Guy -- *** Software bugs are stupid.
