Phantom Vol Grp
I can not delete a vol grp, but it doesn't show as there. When I try to create a new one with the same name, then it says it exists... how do I
'clean out' old references?
See below:
colobus:~ # pvscan
pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
pvscan -- ACTIVE PV "/dev/sdb1" of VG "oraredo1" [100 MB / 100 MB free]

colobus:~ # vgremove indxgrp
vgremove -- ERROR: can't remove active volume group "indxgrp"
colobus:~ # vgchange -a n indxgrp
vgchange -- volume group "indxgrp" does not exist
colobus:~ # vgdisplay indxgrp
vgdisplay -- volume group "indxgrp" not found

vgcreate -- volume group directory or file already exists vgcreate -- please choose a different nameI believe this is referring to the
/dev/indxgrpdirectory...look at that and if you know you don't need it, rm it.
