Hi All, I have a LVM over 3 partitions (3 separate disks) and one of them is failing so I need to remove it from the group. I moved the content to the rest of the disks (pvmove) and now pvdisplay shows: root@neriak:~# pvdisplay --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sdb1 VG Name storage PV Size 186.31 GB / not usable 4.00 MB Allocatable yes (but full) PE Size (KByte) 4096 Total PE 47694 Free PE 0 Allocated PE 47694 PV UUID QUmigK-SCow-nMKo-NEcC-cOQY-bAO9-3k6g9K --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sdc1 VG Name storage PV Size 149.05 GB / not usable 1.31 MB Allocatable yes PE Size (KByte) 4096 Total PE 38156 Free PE 19483 Allocated PE 18673 PV UUID idHUfs-rd5i-fVf7-UzE0-YGJT-X1k4-mrp3be "/dev/sda4" is a new physical volume of "200.87 GB" --- NEW Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sda4 VG Name PV Size 200.87 GB Allocatable NO PE Size (KByte) 0 Total PE 0 Free PE 0 Allocated PE 0 PV UUID TNsOa7-2Ibb-IW9i-C1s5-1NI9-L5e3-WlKnSH However, I can't remove /dev/sda4 (the partition on the failing disk) from the group: root@neriak:~# pvremove /dev/sda4 Can't open /dev/sda4 exclusively - not removing. Mounted filesystem? I don't see it mounted anywhere. The LVM is also unmounted. Any ideas of what I might be doing wrong ? I am running LVM 2.02.39 on Ubuntu 9.04 64bit Thanks in advance, Stefan _______________________________________________ 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/
