[linux-lvm] LVM2 Problem Can't resize locked LV lv

[Christian]

Hi,

I am using LVM2 for some time now and haven't had any troubles.
But this week one of the hard disks, the one I added approx. one month 
ago, started to report read/write errors.
I bought a new one and followed the steps of an LVM how-to found on this 
website 
(http://charlesnadeau.blogspot.com/2006/10/howto-replaceupgrade-disk-part-of-lvm2_04.html).

The first steps worked fine. Even shrinking the reiser file system was 
no problem.
But when I tried to pvmove /dev/hdb1 /dev/hdf1, I am getting the error 
message: Can't resize locked LV lv.

As there is no available information about what this error message 
actually means nor how to resolve it, I hope someone on this list might 
be able to help me.

Thank you very much in advance.

Cheers Christian

PS: this is my current configuration. where hdb1 is the failing hdd, and 
hdf1 the new one.
