Public bug reported:
When I want to remove a physical volume which still is part of a volume
group I get the following message:
r...@vdr:~# pvremove /dev/sdf1
Can't pvremove physical volume "/dev/sdf1" of volume group "vdr" without -ff
Now when I actually append -ff to the line, I end up with a corrupt
volume group. It would be much better it it told the user to use
vgreduce.
(note for people encountering this problem)
If you have used -ff it's easy to fix. Just type pvdisplay and look for the
missing volume uuid. Then create a new physical volume with the same uuid.
(parameter -u)
