Hi, I'd like to know what would be the best way to remove an iscsi lvm storage from a server. (removing all reference to that storage etc.) The storage in question will be reset and reformated and used on a different server; so no LVM export is needed. Do I have to do lvremove ..., vgremove ..., pvremove ... and do an iscsiadm -m node -T ... -p ... -u and iscsiadm -m node -o delete -T ... -p ... in order to achieve that? Or is there some more simple way? Thanks for any suggestion and best regards . G?tz -- G?tz Reinicke IT-Koordinator Tel. +49 7141 969 82 420 Fax +49 7141...

hi,all I create pool with lvm,but i carelessly add a blank space in the pool name like ' lvm_pool' , now I want to delete this pool,but encounter a error: error: Failed to delete pool lvm_pool error: internal error Child process (/sbin/vgremove -f lvm_pool) status unexpected: exit status 5 how to solve this problem? thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I've written some %pre code to grab a few files off a logical volume, if it exits, before the disk gets formatted, but can't get get it to work correctly. Essentially: %pre ... lvm vgscan lvm vgchange -a y ... if [ -d /dev/vol0 ]; then # do stuff fi lvm vgremove -f vol0 The problem is that /dev/vol0 does not exist after lvm vgchange. I added a few debug statements (lvm pvdisplay, lvm vgdisplay, lvm lvdisplay, ls -l /dev) that confirm the existance of all logical volumes, but there's no sign of the volume group under /dev. What am I missing?

Dear Experts, Could somebody point to kicstart HOWTO specific for CentOS 7? On CentOS 7 I somehow am always given human intervention questions about drive which defeats unattended ks install. <rant ??> I'm doing kickstart installations for quite some time, normally I was just installing system when new release comes, and am basing kickstart file on anaconda-ks.cfg - with some

...above> vgchange -an <qemu-nbd related volume> Now what? How do I get the volume out of the list so I can use 'qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0' to dis-associate the image with /dev/nbd0? vgreduce seems to be for volumes which have multiple underlying devices. I started to use vgremove but, when it started prompting for confirmation about removing logical volumes, I wasn't sure exactly what it was going to do and responded 'no'. If there is a web reference explaining this specific situation just point me to it - I'm not opposed to reading. Thanks for the hel...

I realized that anaconda was trying to remove the volume groups that already existed on the drives. Once I erased all of the partition information on the drives with fdisk, I was able to do a normal install with LVM. -- Bowie

I''m a complete newbie at Xen, just getting started. I was happy to see that Ubuntu 11.10 includes Xen again, http://zulcss.wordpress.com/2011/09/04/xen-4-1-1-on-ubuntu/ So I installed ubuntu 11.10''s precompiled Xen, and started playing around with it. I''m not even trying to start another VM at the moment, just playing around with mounting block devices, and had trouble
