Exactly my point! Which PVs and which LVs? Without RAID and LVM (and with ext2/3/4), you have _only one_ file (the one using that failed sector) affected until the drive actually dies. And (with debugfs) I can find out what file is affected.
Why go through all that when you can just instruct LVM to stop using the failing drive?
I suggested that, David wasn't happy with it. David seems to want file level granuality. If the drive is dying, I don't see the point. -- "It is impossible for a man to begin to learn what he thinks he knows". -- Epictetus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
