Re: [gentoo-user] LVM and LABELS in fstab

2011-11-22 Thread Dale
Another LVM question. If I want to remove a drive and tell pvmove to move the data off it, can the drive have files being written to it while this is done? I'm wanting to use my old spare drive to move some things around but right now LVM has it. I think it is OK but just want to make sure.
