Dear LVM list, I had several PV's with mainly raid10 volumes. When one of them failed, I was able to recover with lvconvert --repair. After failed PV was replaced, it left me with a couple of filled up almost to 100% PV's and one 100% free. I'd like to create more raid10 volumes, but I'm unable to free any space... The following command (extents range cover one of rimage_N volumes) was only successful for one "meta" and one "rimage_0", but in all other cases fails like: [root@chimera ~]# pvmove /dev/sdg:0-15359 /dev/sdh Insufficient free space: 15360 extents needed, but only 0 available Unable to allocate mirror extents for vgkvm/pvmove0. Failed to convert pvmove LV to mirrored. Why? There's certainly lots of free space on /dev/sdh, it's almost free! I don't want to be forced to use only linear volumes from now... please help! _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list [email protected] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
