make_recovery (on HP-UX 10.20) failed

[CAVALERIE]

Hi,

triying to do make_recovery -vA command on a HP-UX 10.20 based system, i have following error :

save_config ERROR : cannot determine lv "/dev/vg00/lvol4" usage via fstyp

Probably this lvol is not valid,
Sure it is not present in fstab
lvdisplay on it indicate a size 0

When i want to remove it with lvremove
i have the following message :

lvremove could'nt delete logical volume
the suplied lv number refers to a non existant logical volume

Could you help me please
Thanks

Please check your 'bdf' output, do you see this /dev/vg00/lvol4?

Did you lvremove this /dev/vg00/lvol4 before?

If you are sure that there's no space allocated for this lvol, do the following to remove the device files:
# rmsf /dev/vg00/lvol4
# rmsf /dev/vg00/rlvol4

It's suspected that these device files were accidently restored from a previous configuration.
