Trouble pvmoving lv's out of a metadatacopies=0 pv

Hi!

If I try to pvmove lv's out of a pv I created using the metadatacopies 0 option, pvmove concludes that the source physical volume is not in a volume group and refuses to commence with the move.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi.

Is there really no way around this bug? It's a bit annoying to have 28 physical volumes more than I actually need... This being a production system, I haven't (at least yet) wanted to take the system off line for as long as it'd take to sync the contents of the lv into another lv. (After which I could run my app on the new lvs and remove the old lvs and the old pvs.)

(See bug #252150 in bugzilla.redhat.com. I submitted the bug report last August, but this doesn't appear to be a trivial bug to squash - so I'm asking here for ways to work around it.)

Thanks for any ideas.

You'll see that bug was fixed in lvm2-2.02.30-1.el5 and so the fix will be included in 5.2, which is currently going through its testing phases.

Oh! I'm sorry. I took the comment #8 to mean that the bug is still present in lvm2-2.02.30-1.el5.

Thanks for clarifying things. :)

The ON_QA status means the fixed package is being tested.
