< jethro> awh crap....
< jethro> the LVM howto didn't mention that is wasn't safe to
move the / filesystem whilst it was in use
* jethro deadlocked the server
< jethro> I sure hope it'll work after reboot
< friend1> (simulate a tension-filled pause here)
< friend2> o_O
< friend1> err
< friend1> heh
< friend1> where'd you move it to?
< jethro> from one physical LVM volume to another with pvmove
< jethro> I think the LVM is toast now though... :-(
< jethro> yup, it's toast. #$$@!#%
What does that mean? It means that I found out the hard way that it IS NOT safe to move a live LVM physical volume from one disk to another with the pvmove command IF the physical volume contains the / filesystem.
Apparantly the problem is that the binaries are in use when it tries to move itself and causes the system to dead lock. :-(
