In case 1 you tell LVM to drop a storage (I assume by removing pv2 you first take it out of the vg and then apply pvremove). In case 2 you you're simulating media failure to LVM. You can't just remove a media it depends on. Regardless if LVM has data on the PV or not. Are you trying to make failover work? If so, your approach is a bit wrong. Setup a software raid 1 first, then build your PV on that. Once done, you can remove one disk and your LVM will continue to run (degraded). --- Regards Peter Larsen I don't kill flies, but I like to mess with their minds. I hold them above globes.
