been unable to find a solution in the list archives. Can anyone give me a hint what to try? Restoring the configuration didn't help, probably because the several pvmove's did fill the 9 .old config's with messed up data... The box is a SuSE 8.0 with a vanilla 2.4.18 kernel and the LVM tools are version 1.0.3. Any help is greatly appreciated. Regards Stefan
