[linux-lvm] Problems with pvmove

[Heinz J . Mauelshagen]

Andreas,

could you provide a "pvdisplay -v | tail -22" output of the PV in question
in order to check if you suffer from a misalocation problem which would lead
to a last PE being allocated partially beyond the end of the underlying devive.
