Yes, I did make some manual modifications but to make sure I hadn't messed things up I did a clean install of OF2.2.
This is always reproducible on my system and could pose a problem (I guess) if someone has a crash and needs to re-install OF. My configuration is as follows: a dual Athlon MP 2400 on a Tyan Tiger MB; 3ware 9500s-12 with 8 drives; 1 pair of raid 1 drives for the o/s, swap, boot and the volume 'data'; 6 drives in a raid 5 array with the volume 'storage' on it. The volume 'storage' was exported from a previous install of OF, the raid 1 boot partitions etc were wiped and reformatted, if I leave the volume 'storage' on the system and install OF on the raid 1 then then I can't create the volume on th e raid 1 device as I described earlier. If I unplug the six HD in the raid 5 array then I can install OF and create the volume 'data' on the raid 1 device. I have a recollection that I posted about this on the forums when I first got my system some months ago. If I follow your instructions and do: vgchange -an vgremove data vgremove storage vgdisplay to make sure there's nothing else .... the only thing left on the system is the exported 'storage' volume. This still has a logical volume on it and as I'm rather nervous about doing an lvremove (does that make it impossible to get at the data?) I can't get rid of that volume. I have 700GB of data on thare that I don't want to lose. I should be able to create a new pv, lv etc. with an exported on the system shouldn't I, or am I (quite possibly) misunderstanding what's going on here?
