LVM question

[Anand Sreenivasan]

I have a volume group with a logical volume which has been striped across 4 disks. Now I am planning to move this data over to new set of disks and I thought I would just mirror it using LVM. When ever I try to do it , It said striped mirroring is not supported. Can I do a PVMOVE in this case. Will it work ?. Thanks for any help.

Hi:

No, you cannot use 'pvmove' on stiped LVM disks. MirrorDisk/UX is a "superset" of 'pvmove' code and neither can be used with striped logical volumes.
