Volume group not deactivating
I have a volume group. I have unmounted all LV's and i am trying
vgchange -a n /dev/vgname
but the following error is coming.
[root@ggnbkp21:/tmp/jai]#vgchange -a n APPSVG3
vgchange: Couldn't deactivate volume group "APPSVG3":
Device busy
I have manually deactivated all lv's and pv's but still it is giving me same error.
This volume group have raw lv's, but i have deactivated them.
Please help.

Re: Volume group not deactivating
How?
Maybe there are still I/Os pending, hence devices are busy.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: Volume group not deactivating
if I understand well you "need to export" this vg, so you need to remove it.
If so just run
vgremove APPSVG3
which works with active vg, then remove /dev/APPSVG3 directory. In this way you don't need to deactivate the vg.
This gets the same result of vgexport which instead works with non-active vg (and which also remove /dev/
HTH.
Best regards,
Fabio
