hi. Thanks for your reply. Well, I had tried that before, but no luck. I tried it again, and still no luck:

You have to do it *BEFORE* you disable/remove the storage. Doing it afterwards will just throw all the errors you are seeing since the LVM tools can no longer access the device.

You have to do things in the correct order; first unmount any file systems, then de-activate LVs/VGs, then stop or remove the storage hardware.

If you do this in the wrong order you'll end up with the problems you're seeing.

For now, you can clean up /dev/sdb by deleting it via sysfs:

echo 1 > /sys/block/sdb/device/delete

Which will stop other commands that scan the disks from tripping over the dead device. You can also manually delete any remaining device mapper devices that reference the removed disk (see similar thread yesterday).

Regards,
Bryn.
