As I interpret the manpage, the use of '-f' should not be required. And
indeed, I assume that '-f' should never be needed unless in extreme
cases?
In this case, you need the -f flag. The documentation is a bit fuzzy.
Thanks! What is it about the situation that means -f is needed?
In any case, it seems -f does not help. I did a stop on the test/test3 volumes
followed by an 'rm -r -f test'. I received no error message, but 'vinum l'
still lists the test volume - except now it is still in state 'down', rather
than having reverted to 'up'. I also tried explicitly stopping the
plexes/subdisks, but got 'device busy' (on the plexes/sds). I have included
the full output of 'vinum l' below as it shows up now, in case I have missed
something.
Btw, I should mention that for reasons having to do with my previous
testing/playing with vinum, the plex/subdisk relationsships are not what one
might think by inspecting the output of 'vinium l'. Here's the output of
'vinum printconfig' (plus manual line wrapping to make it more readable):
