Hello. In the process of replacing a failing disk I find myself
wanting to move the read-only volumes from that disk onto another disk. I
accomplished this task by first using the vos remsite command to delete
the entry pointing to the bad disk. Next, I did an vos addsite to add
another replicated volume to the new location. Unfortunately, the amount
of disk freespace on the original disk didn't go up as I expected, although
I believed the olume was deleted from the original disk. When I performed
a vos listvldb on the original disk, I still saw the readonly volume there.
Thinking I could zap it, I did so. The vos zap command warned me that a
vldb entry still existed, so, when it was done, I did a vos remove
explicitly on the readonly copy of the volume on the old partition. The
result was that my read-write copy god deleted and references to all
read-only copies went as well. So, my question is:
How do I free space on disks which had readonly volumes on them when I move
those copies to other disks without trashing the readwrite copy and other
readonly copies?
