Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 2 Peter Rajnoha 2016-06-03 13:53:29 UTC 
pvmove now uses process_each_pv logic (since lvm2 v2.02.141) inside and as such, it recognizes PV tags now. So this scenario now works:

# vgcreate vg /dev/sda /dev/sdb
  Physical volume "/dev/sda" successfully created.
  Physical volume "/dev/sdb" successfully created.
  Volume group "vg" successfully created

# pvchange --addtag mytag /dev/sda
  Physical volume "/dev/sda" changed
  1 physical volume changed / 0 physical volumes not changed

# lvcreate -L100m vg /dev/sda
  Logical volume "lvol0" created.

# pvmove @mytag
  @mytag: Moved: 24.00%
  @mytag: Moved: 100.00%
Comment 3 Peter Rajnoha 2016-06-03 14:23:06 UTC 
However, there are still issues in certain situations (I've filed that as upstream bug #1342564).
Comment 4 Peter Rajnoha 2016-06-06 11:02:40 UTC 
Use of tags together with pvmove is disabled for now until we find complete solution for how this should work when a tag encompasses several devices.
I'm moving this back from POST.
