    Sid box. Running lvm2. I have the following:

    /dev/mapper/vg0-tmp on /tmp type xfs (rw)
    /dev/mapper/vg0-usr on /usr type xfs (rw)
    /dev/mapper/vg0-var on /var type xfs (rw)
    /dev/mapper/vg0-local on /local type xfs (rw)
    /dev/mapper/vg0-home on /home type xfs (rw)

    All working just fine.

    pvcreate, pvscan, pvdisplay, vgcreate, vgextend, lvcreate, lvextend -
    all work just fine too.

    But - pvmove gives:

    # pvmove /dev/hda7 /dev/hda5
      mirror: Required device-mapper target(s) not detected in your kernel

    Well - I'm guessing that device-mapper targets refers to /dev/mapper
    which is:

    ls -l /dev/mapper/
    total 0
    crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 63 2005-05-23 19:52 control
    brw------- 1 root root 254, 2 2005-05-23 19:52 vg0-home
    brw------- 1 root root 254, 0 2005-05-23 19:52 vg0-local
    brw------- 1 root root 254, 1 2005-05-23 19:52 vg0-tmp
    brw------- 1 root root 254, 3 2005-05-23 19:52 vg0-usr
    brw------- 1 root root 254, 4 2005-05-23 19:52 vg0-var

    so - I'm not sure why this alone won't run?

    The aim here is to pvmove then vgreduce - so I really do need to get
    the used PEs freed up on /dev/hda7.
