I have SL 4.3 x86 installed on two hard disks, because during installation it created an
LVM2 configuration (VolGroup00 with /dev/hdc and /dev/hdf). I want to remove dev/hdf.
I checked Logical Volume Management and when I tried to "Remove Volume from Volume Group"
it gave the message "Volume Group VolGroup00 does not have enough space to move the data
stored on /dev/hdf1. A possible solution would be to add an additional Physical Volume to
the Volume Group"
When I tried "Migrate Selected Extents From Volume", it gave the message "There are not
enough free extents to perform the necessary migration. Adding more physical volumes would
solve the problem".
However I have enough free space:
[root@localhost download]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
99G 11G 84G 12% /
/dev/hdc1 99M 13M 82M 13% /boot
none 506M 0 506M 0% /dev/shm
[root@localhost download]#
The first hard disk is 80 GB one and the second I want to remove 30 GB one. Is there any
way to resize VolGroup00 or something, so as to remove the /dev/hdf? Can the live cd help
in this case?
