Removing a PV from a VG that hasn't been used
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

How can I safely remove this PV from the VG?


Thanks a bunch!

Harold

vxdestroy_lvmroot

vxdestroy_lvmroot(1M)													     vxdestroy_lvmroot(1M)

NAME

       vxdestroy_lvmroot - remove LVM root disk and associated LVM volume group

SYNOPSIS

       vxdestroy_lvmroot [-v] [-b] lvm_root_disk

DESCRIPTION

       The  vxdestroy_lvmroot  command	tears  down  and removes the LVM volume group associated with the specified physical disk. This is done by
       removing the volumes in the volume group and then removing the volume group.

OPTIONS

       -b	 Invokes the setboot command to change the primary boot disk to the VxVM root disk from which the system was booted (if  the  pri-
		 mary  boot  disk is not already set to this disk).  The alternate boot device remains unchanged.  If the -v option is also speci-
		 fied, the settings of the primary and alternate boot devices are displayed.

       -v	 Outputs verbose messages including a timestamp that indicates major operations being performed.

ARGUMENTS

       lvm_root_disk
	    Specifies the device name of the LVM root disk that is to be destroyed, along with its entire volume group.

EXAMPLES

       This example shows the vxdestroy_lvmroot command invoked in its simpliest form:

       /etc/vx/bin/vxdestroy_lvmroot c5t1d0

       # /etc/vx/bin/vxdestroy_lvmroot -v -b c3t0d0
