Its linux 2.4.19 (with the sgi xfs patch) and lvm 1.0.6. I have two volumes,
the other volume (vol1) is unaffected. All lvm operations seem to be working
on vol1. For vol2 (the one that I executed a pvmove on), I cannot get lvm to
recognize it so I cannot perform any lvm operations.

Which LVM and Linux version is this ?
Does everything else irt LVM with the exception of pvmove ru fine
(i.e. creating/removing LVs etc.) ?
