Package: lvm2 Version: 2.02.24-6 Severity: normal Over the weekend I added a second disk to my box, identical to the first once. The plan was to create a RAID1 dataset by bringing up the new disk as a degraded array, copying / over to it, creating a new swap partition and then migrating the LVM volume group over (everything but / is LVMed).
Bringing up the RAID1 degraded array was fine. I then did: pvcreate /dev/md2 which seemed to work fine and showed the physical volume fine. So I did: vgextend raidvg /dev/md2 which resulted in vgdisplay displaying as much free space as used in the volume group, as I expected. So I did: pvmove -v /dev/sda3 to move everything off the unraided disk and into the raid array. And that's where it went wrong. pvmove bombed out complaining about being unable to parse the progress or something similar - I'm sorry, I really should have recorded the exact error. It seemed to be complaining about "core 1", which when I ran "dmsetup status" I could see on the first line for the raidvg-pvmove0 device. pvmove --abort cleaned things up successfully, but I failed to figure out how to correctly get pvmove to operate as expected so created a new volume group on the RAID device and manually copied the filesystems over - precisely the sort of thing LVM is designed to avoid I believe, but this was my home box and I was more concerned about having it back up and running properly than avoiding downtime due to shuffling filesystems. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-rc3 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages lvm2 depends on: ii libc6 2.5-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.18-1 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii libncurses5 5.6-3 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline5 5.2-3 GNU readline and history libraries ii libselinux1 2.0.15-2 SELinux shared libraries ii libsepol1 2.0.3-1 Security Enhanced Linux policy lib lvm2 recommends no packages. -- debconf information: lvm2/snapshots: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
