Hello, Ok, had my timeframe, rebooted the server but still the volumegroup is marked as active. I cannot remove it :( How can this be and how can I change this? I need to remove the lvm from the drive. And I want it to happen the clean way. Not just fdisking it from the drive and let the informations of the lvm remain somewhere in the config..

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.
