from man page for vgreduce:
It appears that you are actually using just one PV, so that's why the command returns error (and it is already used for LV lvol0 and lvol1).
Greetings Pinga,
as frappa mentionned vgreduce is to remove PVs (which are finally disk devices...), what was your intention? For you still have in that vg 100GB unallocated; is vg00 the one containing your OS?
Vbe the actual problem is this.
I have 200gb of harddisk file attached to this machine(virtual machine). But due to space crunch i have to reduce this 200 gb to 150 gb or less.
How would i go about it? Only 6.7 gb /200 gb is used till now.
if I understood, you'd like to use the remaining space on the PV that is non currently in use by the existing LVs?
Why don't you create new LVs and assign them to some needed mountpoint?
The best would be of course to umount the filesystems of vg00 then since you have only one PV, use vgremove to remove the vg group and recreate it again...
You would have to get it to recognize the new size of your virtual PV (never tried in vmware...) that means a pvcreate...
