That was to be expected. I repeat:

Quote:
Do an unmirrorvg to completely make the disk empty and a reducevg to get it out of the VG.
You cannot use a reducevg on a disk which has not been emptied before. Since you have still a LV occupying space on the PV (even if it is only a mirror) you cannot remove the disk from the VG. You either have to remove the mirror on this disk first or move it to another PV.

If this is not due to a broken cable or controller (that would explain the "missing" status) the error message suggests that the disk was in its last throes anyway: when a disk is formatted (when included in a VG) a certain number of blocks is set aside to compensate for blocks going bad. They are used up over time. Once they are depleted (or nearly depleted) you usually see a series of TEMP hdisk errors (IIRC "hdisk error 3", usually stretched out over some days or weeks) before finally a PERM (IIRC "hdisk error 4") one in the errpt.

I hope this helps.

jigdo-mirror

JIGDO-MIRROR(1) 														   JIGDO-MIRROR(1)

NAME

       jigdo-mirror - Maintain a mirror of images offered with jigdo

SYNOPSIS

       jigdo-mirror [ config-file ]

DESCRIPTION

       See jigdo-file(1) for an introduction to Jigsaw Download.

       jigdo-mirror  is a script intended for people who want to offer direct HTTP or FTP downloads of files for which only the jigdo and template
       files are available.

       As the first step of using jigdo-mirror, you need to set up normal HTTP/FTP/rsync mirroring both of the `.jigdo'/`.template' files  and	of
       the  parts  that  are  needed  for the reconstruction of the images. For example, in the case that you want to mirror Debian CD images with
       jigdo-mirror, you need a mirror of the `.jigdo'/`.template' files and a Debian mirror on the local machine.

       At regular intervals (preferably immediately after the normal mirroring has finished), schedule a  run  of  jigdo-mirror.  It  will  search
       through a given directory for any `.jigdo' files and attempt to create all images offered by each file.

       The  script  requires  you  to  set a number of variables - please refer to the start of /usr/bin/jigdo-mirror for a description of each of
       them. Since /usr/bin/jigdo-mirror will be overwritten whenever you upgrade jigdo-mirror, it is highly recommended not to  change  the  set-
       tings  directly	in  this script. Instead, personal settings should be saved in a file called .jigdo-mirror in your home directory, or in a
       different file whose name is then passed to the script as its first (and only) command line argument.

       CD images for Debian Linux can be downloaded with jigdo <URL:http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/>.

AUTHOR

       Jigsaw Download <URL:http://atterer.net/jigdo/> was written by Richard Atterer <jigdo atterer.net>, to make downloading of  CD  ROM  images
       for the Debian Linux distribution more convenient.
