Did you used vgreduce to release free the disk?
Well, no. Actually, I am not performing those commands manually.It is the openSUSE 12.3 installer (YaST2), that performs a sequence of commands during installation. It is told to create a new VG on an existing LVM partition. Hence, it first removes all LVs in the existing VG, then tries to remove the existing, empty VG using 'vgremove system'.
I tried to strip the series of commands from the YaST2 logs: ------------- "/sbin/lvremove -f -A n '/dev/system/var_log'" "/sbin/lvremove -f -A n '/dev/system/var'" "/sbin/lvremove -f -A n '/dev/system/usr'" "/sbin/lvremove -f -A n '/dev/system/tmp'" "/sbin/lvremove -f -A n '/dev/system/slash'" "/sbin/lvremove -f -A n '/dev/system/nobackup'" "/sbin/vgremove 'system'" ------------- => Fails with exit code 5 openSUSE 12.3 is using LVM version: 2.02.98(2) (2012-10-15) Library version: 1.02.77 (2012-10-15) Driver version: 4.23.0Note that the EXACTLY same sequence of commands works OK for openSUSE 12.2 using
LVM version: 2.02.84(2) (2011-02-09) Library version: 1.02.63 (2011-02-09) Driver version: 4.22.0
