Came across a strange problem,
I have a software raid1 with LV sitting on top. When I try to mirror an existing LV to a new LV with the tar command I get these error messages.
mount /dev/vg00/base.centos /mnt/orig mount /dev/vg00/test /mnt/new cd /mnt/orig tar cf - ./|(cd /mnt/new; tar xf - )
... File shrank by 406815 bytes; padding with zeros ... Read error at byte 49152, reading 10240 bytes: Input/output error
Do I have data corruption? If I removed the snapshots, will the padding errors disappear?
Looked at reference to these but not sure if they apply. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=152162 http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-514.html
