lvsplit pv2 rather than pv1?

Greg Hall — Tue, 11 Oct 2005 17:21:29 GMT

Hi,

I have a need to use lvsplit and lvmerge. I have tested the process ok and find that lvsplit will always move the pv2 mirror offline. Is there a way to force it to move the pv1 mirror offline? the manual refers to using -g and pvg name, but I don't have any pvg's defined.

thanks, Greg

Hi Greg:

There is nothing to prevent you from manually building a valid '/etc/lvmpvg' file that describes your configuration. See the manpages for 'lvmpvg(4)'.

Regards!
