[linux-lvm] pvmove taking for ever to complete

[Matt Weil]

Hello all,

doing a pvmove from old to new storage and it is taking for ever.

command

pvmove /dev/mpath/gxfer4_1 /dev/mapper/compel1_gxfer1

progress after about two weeks
/dev/mpath/gxfer4_1: Moved: 42.1%

version
LVM version: 2.02.74(2)-RHEL5 (2011-01-28)
Library version: 1.02.55-RHEL5 (2010-11-09)
Driver version: 4.11.5

The devices are 10TB each but it should not be taking this long.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks

Matt

Can you provide any environmental details? What you describe could be slow
or fast...

Have you checked that the storage NICs/adapters and their assoc ports are
"behaving well" (e.g. speed/duplex, NetQueues, storm controls etc.)?
