Okay this is more clear. Yes the pv is unused and should be possible to cleanly remove the pv from the volumegroup. > pvscan shows that its unused, but a "vgreduce Volume0 /dev/cciss/c1d0p1" > tells me it can't reduce because the PV is used. It's always more helpful to post the output of vgreduce, but I'll take a stab here. > Any ideas? First you should mark the pv as unallocatable pvchange -x no /dev/cciss/c1d0p1 The next step is to remove the pv from the volume group using vgreduce Volume0 /dev/cciss/c1d0p1 or alternatively vgreduce -a Volume0 If those do not work please post the output of those commands. -- Zac Slade _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
