[linux-lvm] I/O Error removing a file

[John Moser]

Needless to say, I forgot to run fsck one last time. ;)  That removed the
illegal inodes, and the files along with it.  Problem solved.

I guess in the IT field, writing emails to support lists sometimes is all
you need to inspire the proper solution.

John,

so you don't have PEs allocated on the failed drive any longer?
If so, this looks like you still have another hardware flaw (cables?)
or a bug in 2.5.
What does "fsck -f" say about your filesystem?
