Hi,
I did a "standard" install of FC3. LVM was installed automatically and
found 2 harddisks.
# lvmdiskscan
/dev/hda [ 37,28 GB]
/dev/hda1 [ 101,94 MB]
/dev/hda2 [ 37,18 GB] LVM physical volume
/dev/hdb [ 38,35 GB]
/dev/hdb1 [ 38,34 GB] LVM physical volume
2 disks
1 partition
0 LVM physical volume whole disks
2 LVM physical volumes

I want to replace /dev/hda because it is an old disk and not really
necessary right now. ;-)
So I tried removing /dev/hdb1 from VG:
# pvmove -v /dev/hdb1
Finding volume group "VolGroup00"
No extents available for allocation
# vgreduce VolGroup00 /dev/hdb1
Physical volume "/dev/hdb1" still in use
Does this mean I have to reduce the LV first?
My thoughts were first to remove /dev/hdb, create two partitions, moving
/boot and VG to it, power down, remove old disk, jumper new one as
master and finally power up.
Can anybody give me some advice?
Sounds like a reasonable plan. Please post the output of:
# vgdisplay -v
