I'm in the process of trying to clone an existing drive to a new SSD.
The existing drive was created by a fresh F31 install, which used LVM
for root and swap. I normally turn this off when installing but didn't
this time, either because it's not possible or because I couldn't find
the magic button.
Anyway, I cloned each partition using dd, but of course that also
cloned the LVM stuff, including the LVM identifiers. Now I'd like to
roll back the clone of root and just format the partition as ext4, plus
an extra swap partition, but gparted won't let me, as it thinks the
cloned LVM stuff is part of an active LVM setup. The specific error is:
WARNING: Not using device /dev/sdc3 for PV VKT04D-m4CK-6n7L-vSMI-vohC-W8bt-zPVCxS.
WARNING: PV VKT04D-m4CK-6n7L-vSMI-vohC-W8bt-zPVCxS prefers device /dev/sda3 because device is used by LV.
Device /dev/sdc3 excluded by a filter.
Same thing happens if I try to delete the partition.
How can I blow away LVM on the cloned drive without having to start
again from scratch?
Are you looking for commands like lvremove and pvremove?
