[linux-lvm] pvmove didn't work - now system won't boot

[Josef Whiter]

Hello,

Yeah you'll want to reduce the size of your filesystem, though you might want to
back stuff up first (dd and such), just incase, since the last time i checked
(which admittedly has been a while) this feature would sometimes result in an
unusable filesystem.  Thank you,

Josef
