Thanks Seems like some commands like the --ignorelockingfailure and some don't pvscan shows /dev/hdc2 as [2g / 2g free] and it my other drive now has 2g less free space so do I assume the transfer of data worked correctly? Now I need to run vgreduce I suppose to remove that drive from the group. However, the ignorelockingfailure option doesn't work. Do I just boot from a recovery cd and delete the lock file in /var/log/lvm to proceed?
