LVM stands for Logical Volume Manager. Logically speaking, I have never seen it able to change a status of a VG when an LV is mounted or used as swap or even accessed as a raw partition. Since you are going to demolish the VG, you might want to make sure you have deleted any LVs defined on it. If you get an error from that, it will basically tell you the thing you have to deactivate or remove from use. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net The technology that is Stronger, better, faster: Linux
