That's how far I got: # df -h Dateisystem Größe Benut Verf Ben% Eingehängt auf /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 30G 4,4G 24G 16% / /dev/hda1 99M 16M 79M 17% /boot none 252M 0 252M 0% /dev/shm # vgdisplay -v Finding all volume groups Finding volume group "VolGroup00" --- Volume group --- VG Name VolGroup00 System ID Format lvm2 Metadata Areas 2 Metadata Sequence No 7 VG Access read/write VG Status resizable MAX LV 0 Cur LV 2 Open LV 2 Max PV 0 Cur PV 2 Act PV 2 VG Size 75,47 GB PE Size 32,00 MB Total PE 2415 Alloc PE / Size 1056 / 33,00 GB Free PE / Size 1359 / 42,47 GB VG UUID Scg1fw-WM5q-eoj5-rcf8-AAAi-sKmV-nrWAYK --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 VG Name VolGroup00 LV UUID c3JfzP-cN3w-v49v-nXYN-whIc-b5A2-f7KMzx LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 32,00 GB Current LE 1024 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors 0 Block device 253:0 --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 VG Name VolGroup00 LV UUID K6Tqyu-jO0S-BpPC-8ob7-t7Qd-SOQ1-aK6EUY LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 1,00 GB Current LE 32 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors 0 Block device 253:1 --- Physical volumes --- PV Name /dev/hda2 PV UUID EpsJjV-7Svg-cMVX-sjdF-lMXQ-ruCB-9bzrXP PV Status allocatable Total PE / Free PE 1189 / 133 PV Name /dev/hdb1 PV UUID 0bUeIv-uudT-MadJ-WDpU-yMD0-4P4n-Suitsd PV Status allocatable Total PE / Free PE 1226 / 1226 I moved everthing from /dev/hdb1, all PE are free now. But trying to reduce the VG gives me an error: # vgreduce /dev/VolGroup00 /dev/hdb1 /var/lock/lvm/V_/dev/VolGroup00: open failed: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden Can't get lock for /dev/VolGroup00 This means that some file or directory is not found. Any ideas what's going wrong here? Oliver
