[linux-lvm] Removing PV with disk errors from VG

[Chris Harwell]

well, simply applying the cast patch to the usertools did not work. i 
don't need to repatch the kernel, do i? 

i'm left with the same problem. when attempting a pvmove:

a --test works, but the real thing fails:

[root at totally80s /root]# pvmove --verbose /dev/hda14 
pvmove -- checking name of source physical volume "/dev/hda14"
pvmove -- locking logical volume manager
pvmove -- reading data of source physical volume from "/dev/hda14"
pvmove -- checking volume group existence
pvmove -- reading data of volume group "vg0" from lvmtab
pvmove -- checking volume group consistency of "vg0"
pvmove -- searching for source physical volume "/dev/hda14" in volume 
group "vg0"
pvmove -- building list of possible destination physical volumes
pvmove -- checking volume group activity
pvmove -- moving physical extents in active volume group "vg0"
pvmove -- WARNING: if you lose power during the move you may need
        to restore your LVM metadata from backup!
pvmove -- do you want to continue? [y/n] y
pvmove -- starting to move extents away from physical volume "/dev/hda14"
pvmove -- checking for enough free physical extents in "vg0"
pvmove -- /dev/hda14 [PE 0 [lvol1 [LE 310]] -> /dev/hdd9 [PE 16182] 
[1/1202]
pvmove -- ERROR "Invalid argument" remapping
pvmove -- ERROR "pv_move(): LE of LV remap" moving physical extents

unless i need to rescan something?

i'd like to try the 1.0.4.-pre1.tar.bz2 version mentioned in this email
