I would like to remove a specific domU (test01--pv--guest) from my machine. I am not sure how far/to what extent to remove files. Here are the files and properties it seems I should remove:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 9 11:05 /dev/disk/by-id/dm-name-xenvg-test01--pv--guest--disk -> ../../dm-3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 9 01:03 /dev/disk/by-id/dm-name-xenvg-test01--pv--guest--swap -> ../../dm-2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jan 9 11:05 /dev/mapper/xenvg-test01--pv--guest--disk -> ../dm-3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jan 9 01:03 /dev/mapper/xenvg-test01--pv--guest--swap -> ../dm-2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jan 9 11:05 /dev/xenvg/test01-pv-guest-disk -> ../dm-3 The above point to dm-2 and dm-3. brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 0 Jan 9 01:03 /dev/dm-0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 1 Jan 9 01:03 /dev/dm-1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 2 Jan 9 01:03 /dev/dm-2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 3 Jan 9 11:05 /dev/dm-3 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 4 Jan 9 01:03 /dev/dm-4 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 5 Jan 9 01:03 /dev/dm-5 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 6 Jan 9 01:03 /dev/dm-6 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 7 Jan 9 01:03 /dev/dm-7 Will they be deleted automatically or should/can I remove them? How do I check the need for the other dm-? files? I also found this set in /etc/lvm/archive/: -rw------- 1 root root 2909 Oct 17 00:41 Relaise-vg_00000-1453251236.vg -rw------- 1 root root 2929 Oct 24 22:08 Relaise-vg_00001-1530642081.vg -rw------- 1 root root 2924 Oct 25 19:33 Relaise-vg_00002-328450675.vg -rw------- 1 root root 2901 Oct 26 19:53 Relaise-vg_00003-1555350964.vg -rw------- 1 root root 2902 Oct 26 19:53 Relaise-vg_00004-1044927704.vg -rw------- 1 root root 877 Oct 26 19:59 xenvg_00000-1591222470.vg -rw------- 1 root root 889 Oct 26 20:21 xenvg_00001-832188200.vg -rw------- 1 root root 1303 Oct 26 21:20 xenvg_00002-1939380730.vg -rw------- 1 root root 890 Oct 26 21:22 xenvg_00003-627623137.vg -rw------- 1 root root 1305 Oct 26 21:36 xenvg_00004-1046275525.vg -rw------- 1 root root 889 Oct 26 21:37 xenvg_00005-1623887945.vg -rw------- 1 root root 1303 Oct 26 21:45 xenvg_00006-458563004.vg -rw------- 1 root root 889 Oct 26 21:47 xenvg_00007-646940886.vg -rw------- 1 root root 1301 Oct 30 04:31 xenvg_00008-132058722.vg -rw------- 1 root root 1294 Oct 30 04:31 xenvg_00009-1148349450.vg -rw------- 1 root root 1323 Oct 30 04:35 xenvg_00010-327226014.vg -rw------- 1 root root 1735 Oct 30 04:35 xenvg_00011-1925204888.vg Some of these seem like duplicates. This may be due to multiple attempts to build the volumes. Is there a way to determine if all of the are useful? Ray
