[linux-lvm] Problems with pvmove

[Andreas Gorf <estevesgorf freenet de>]

I've followed the discussion started by ?fejf?.

Indeed i have the same problem that pvmove exits with an error when i try 
to
move PEs from one PV to another.

To exclude the possibility of a defect HD i tried to reproduce the error 
on several
independent systems.

The error always occurs when i try to move a complete filled PV to 
another. In this case all but the last
PE on this PV are moved. The last one isn't movable whatever i did.

If the PV wasn't filled at 100% everything goes fine.

To reproduce the error try the following:

- create a VG with three Pvs at the same size
- create a LV which covers the first PV completely and the second partly
- try to all PEs from the first PV to the third - the error will occur
- move the moved PEs back to the first PV - everything goes fine
- try to move the PEs lying on the second PV to the third - everything 
goes fine


...any ideas?
