In the end, system didn't recover after 6 ours, and power cycle was required. Also pvmove's crashed at some point, similarly requiring a power cycle. On reboot, lvm didn't even start anymore, and the kernel oopsed just while trying to start LVM. Something very fishy, I don't have the last oops because /var/log is on LVM. With a grml 0.5 boot cd (kernel 2.6.13.4) though, everything worked and could be recovered, pvmove resumed, etc. So I assume this bug has meanwhile been fixed in later kernel versions. There was some minor data loss though, which in itself would warrant a point-release-upload if the bug were to be found. But eh, I don't think that's a very achieveable thing to do, unless someone happens to have a good idea on what the kernel bug might be. In any case, *I* am not capable of finding it. So if you don't think it's doable to find & fix this bug, please close it, I'm pretty sure etch will be safe for this. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
