12.3. Removing lost LVM physical volumes from a volume group

Procédure

1. Activate the remaining physical volumes in the volume group:

   # vgchange --activate y --partial myvg

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

2. Check which logical volumes will be removed:

   # vgreduce --removemissing --test myvg

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

3. Remove all the logical volumes that used the lost physical volume from the volume group:

   # vgreduce --removemissing --force myvg

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

4. Optional: If you accidentally removed logical volumes that you wanted to keep, you can reverse the vgreduce operation:

   # vgcfgrestore myvg

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
   Avertissement

   If you remove a thin pool, LVM cannot reverse the operation.
