lvmtab & lvmtab_p - cannot remove VG's as I get 'not a character device' message
Hi
I have some VG definitions in lvmtab_p but not in lvmtab. I am trying to get rid of them, but they don't exist in /dev. Ans when I do attempt to vgremove, I get:
vgremove: "/dev/vgX02/group": not a character device.
vgremove: Couldn't remove volume group "/dev/vgX02".
Any idea what might be causing this, as we need to completely remove any suggestion of vgX01 - vgx13 from the server.
Regards
Tariq

>> I have some VG definitions in lvmtab_p but not in lvmtab
These are LVM 2.x VGs.
Consider to use vgexport.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Hi Torsten
No vg*** commands are working.

Is it still there?
What is the error message for vgexport?
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
