Hi all, So, I have the following setup: - Ubuntu 12,04 - 1 6TB physical volume (the one with data) [ext4] - 1 13TB PV (no data... I think?) [ext4] Here is the story... - I created an ext4 on the 13TB PV, added the 13TB to the VG to make a 13TB volume group. - Everything went fine and then I ran: Code: resize2fs /dev/volgroup/volume And to my surprise.. I couldn't resize past 16TB ! (crap! should have checked this first!). So, nothing happened.. Now what I want to do is remove the 13TB PV from the VG and do something else with it... but I get the following error: Code: sudo vgreduce -t home_volume_group /dev/sdc1 Test mode: Metadata will NOT be updated. Physical volume "/dev/sdc1" still in use I don't remember the message, but I was going to try to use pvmove to move stuff off of /dev/sdc1 and it failed stating something like "No available extents"... which I don't even expect to have anything written to that disk since nothing was written after the install. How can I safely remove this PV from the VG? Thanks a bunch!
