If you removed a disk from a server and forgot to cleanly remove the configuration you may experience something similar.<\/p>\n
Below shows what happens with lvremove:<\/p>\n
\r\n# lvremove --force --verbose \/dev\/vg02\/u01\r\n WARNING: Device for PV ore6TE-2ues-rc5q-mkCN-hEHE-C4Av-paaxEH not found or rejected by a filter.\r\n There are 1 physical volumes missing.\r\n Archiving volume group "vg02" metadata (seqno 2).\r\n Releasing logical volume "u01"\r\n Aborting vg_write: No metadata areas to write to!\r\n<\/pre>\nSome people seem to have success with vgreduce commands but I ended up making a fake device and extending the VG in order to cleanup the LV.<\/p>\n
