It has nothing to do with the problem you describe. It's because he's not using the -f flag. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.

Just a thought that maybe you're still cd'ed in your vinum partition while trying to remove it and it's causing the error.

How to remove a vinum volume?
Hi there, I have the following vinum volume that I want to remove. The disks will be reassigned to other machines. vinum -> l -r dataVol V dataVol State: up Plexes: 1 Size: 65 GB P dataVol.p0 C State: up Subdisks: 2 Size: 65 GB S dataVol.p0.s0State: up PO:0 B Size: 28 GB S dataVol.p0.s1State: up PO: 28 GB Size: 37 GB After reading the man page, I am under the impression that I am supposed to first use the stop command. vinum -> stop -r dataVol vinum -> l -r dataVol V dataVol State: down Plexes: 1 Size: 65 GB P dataVol.p0 C State: upSubdisks: 2 Size: 65 GB S dataVol.p0.s0State: upPO:0 B Size: 28 GB S dataVol.p0.s1State: upPO: 28 GB Size: 37 GB Umm... The stop command doesn't seem to work recursively, even when the -r flag is specified. vinum -> rm -r dataVol Can't remove dataVol: Device busy (16) vinum -> l -r dataVol V dataVol State: upPlexes: 1 Size: 65 GB P dataVol.p0 C State: upSubdisks: 2 Size: 65 GB S dataVol.p0.s0State: upPO:0 B Size: 28 GB S dataVol.p0.s1State: upPO: 28 GB Size: 37 GB Did I misunderstand the sequence required to remove a vinum volume? BTW, this machine is running RELENG_4 checked out on Mar 1, 2003.
