Let me extend my previously posted message, as I mixed up some error
messages: here are the correct ones:
# lvreduce -L -150G /dev/vg/lv
Can't resize locked LV lv
# pvmove /dev/hdb1 /dev/hdf1
Skipping locked LV lv
No data to move for vg
Anyways I am still looking for an answer what "locked" means and how I
unlock the logical volume.
I am using gentoo with kernel 2.6.17-gentoo-r8.
Once again, thank you for your help in advance
Cheers
