[linux-lvm] PVmove can not work on lvm2-2.02.177

[linux-lvm] PVmove can not work on lvm2-2.02.177

[Gang He]

Hello list,

As you know, pvmove can run on old version (e.g. lvm2-2.02.120 on SLE12SP2), 
But with new version lvm2-2.02.177, I can not run pvmove successfully in the cluster.
Here, I paste some information from my test, 
if you can know the cause, please help to figure out.

Hi


Yep - it's a work in progress - if you take upstream from git - there are 
already fixes committed.  Hopefully next release (2.02.178) will address most 
regressions cause by newer (hopefully better) code.

Good to see someone is really using it...

Do you have a schedule for next release (2.02.178)? pvmove is a good feature, I hope we can support it in our next SLE release. 
By the way, some customers really used this feature, but it did not look very stable,
especially when users did pvmove during the (clustered) LV is being used for reading/writing.
Thanks a lot.
