Hello all, I am doing a reconfiguration of one of my servers and am facing the following problem: I have one disk using the lvm. On this disk there is one volumegroup which had two logical volumes. I unmounted those volumes and tried to lvremove them. The first one went down the river without a problem. The second one I was not able to lvremove it, after a reboot of the machine, I could remove the logical volume. Now, I have the problem I want to delete the volume group too, but vgremove fails like the logical volume. Somewhere it is marked as active. [root@master]/mnt# vgremove -v Volume01 vgremove -- locking logical volume manager vgremove -- checking volume group name "Volume01" vgremove -- checking volume group "Volume01" activity vgremove -- ERROR: can't remove active volume group "Volume01" System is RHEL3 with kernel: 2.4.21-37.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Sep 7 13:28:55 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Where can I remove the active flag for the volume group? As I do not want to reboot the machine again as the next timeframe for reboot will be not before tomorrow morning.
