Thank you for your answer Fabien. The result of vgdisplay and pvdisplay commands is: [root@s2 httpd]# /usr/sbin/vgdisplay --- Volume group --- VG Name VolGroup00 System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 2 Metadata Sequence No 3 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 0 Cur LV 2 Open LV 2 Max PV 0 Cur PV 2 Act PV 2 VG Size 148.91 GB PE Size 32.00 MB Total PE 4765 Alloc PE / Size 4763 / 148.84 GB Free PE / Size 2 / 64.00 MB VG UUID 557bDF-15yS-X2uy-o0WH-kBXG-RJ63-7hVw03 [root@s2 httpd]# /usr/sbin/pvdisplay --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sdb1 VG Name VolGroup00 PV Size 74.50 GB / not usable 0 Allocatable yes (but full) PE Size (KByte) 32768 Total PE 2384 Free PE 0 Allocated PE 2384 PV UUID hdfvF4-MWe1-EVZk-0Mej-o5yH-fYrp-Nd2vTC --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sda2 VG Name VolGroup00 PV Size 74.41 GB / not usable 0 Allocatable yes PE Size (KByte) 32768 Total PE 2381 Free PE 2 Allocated PE 2379 PV UUID RGvP2W-GVKx-Ukjk-9gab-mF4F-HXGo-43Ql12 As far as I understand there are two 80GB HD sata. One as a master (sda2) and one as slave (sdb2). I would like to have all the logical volume data on the sda2, and be able to remove the sdb2 without disrupting the server. Is that possible?
