It is a 2TB Seagate drive and it started causing errors in the logs, nothing major and it still worked.  I put off ordering a new drive, a mistake, I know, but thought maybe it was just some kind of software issue.<\/p>\n<p>Then the machine started getting slow.  Really slow.  So I ordered a new 3TB Toshiba drive.  Finally received it and thought I would use <a href=\"http:\/\/clonezilla.org\/\">Clonezilla<\/a> to copy the drive.  Created a live USB Linux flash drive with the Clonezilla image.  Worked like a champ, but the cloning was going very slowly due to the problem with the drive, so I bailed.  After some additional tinkering, and fixing grub because Clonezilla had modified it, I was able to boot back up and I realized that I was using LVM and this creates another problem.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure if cloning and replacing the drive would have worked or not, but found some guides on replacing a drive in LVM.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the one I used<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.microhowto.info\/howto\/replace_one_of_the_physical_volumes_in_an_lvm_volume_group.html\">http:\/\/www.microhowto.info\/howto\/replace_one_of_the_physical_volumes_in_an_lvm_volume_group.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Basically you add the new drive to the LVM and then use pmove to migrate the content off the old drive.  Honestly, I&#8217;m not sure yet how this is going to work, it&#8217;s been almost a day and a half and I&#8217;m at 45.8%.  If it fails I have a backup, but it would be nice if this process works and everything moves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"lead\">Recently had a hard drive start acting strangely on my development server.
