Hi:

So, did you unmount any filesystem that is contained within the logical volume, first?

Regards!

You have to unmount the lv first, then you should be able to remove it.

The strange thing is, I don't think I never mounted it in the first place, or newfs'ed it even.

I created another LV on top of it and it seems to be fine now. It doesn't show up when I do vgdisplay anymore.

Ignore the above, I was looking at the wrong VG.
This LV, I was able to successfully delete without an error message. Thanks.
