unable to delete volume group from lvmtab

[Md.Shahabuddin]

Q. I have created a volume group vg02 under a physical disk, but i am not able to remove the volume group from lvmtab, kindly suggest me how to remove the physical disk and volume group from the lvmtab permanently, and whenever i am trying to remove it with vgreduce command i am getting an error that it is not a character device. Please put some suggestion.

# vgchange -a n vg02
# vgexport vg02

Or just use sam

Hi:

First, 'vgreduce' wil remove all but the last physical volume in a volume group.

If you don't want *any* volumes in a volume group the easiest way to begin again is to do:

# vgchange -a n vg02
# vgexport vg02

This will remove 'vg02' from your system; cleaning up the 'etc/lvmtab' and removing the files in '/dev'.

Regards!
