Shalom Joe,

Shut down oracle

umount the filesystems.

lvremove /oracle/MAS

etc...

Done.

You can do it them by writing a simple script.

for i in `cat files.txt`
do
echo "removing file system $i "
lvremove $i
done

put all logical volume information in files.txt file. also you need to unmount them before you kick off script.

Joe,

The vgexport will only work correctly if the lvols you want to remove are the ONLY ones on the vg, otherwise you will be taking some data offline that you want left online

also vgexport does not remove the structures, a vgimport will restore the data.

lvremove is the better way to remove only the lv's you want.

I think you meant /dev/vgmas/home. /oracle/MAS is the mount point.
