<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2> Is there anyone would
help me? The issue is:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>steps.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>a. created a software RAID5 with 4 disks</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>b. created a volume group with the md in step
a</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>c. created a logical volume with vg in step
b</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080>d. plugged out 2 physical drives, which were the member
of the software RAID5 in step a, the software RAID5 was offline.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>there were two results:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>1. could not delete the logical volume and
volume group, when the plugged out disks did not contain the lvm
metadata.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>2. could not see the logical volume and volume
group when i scan them, and could not delete the software RAID5, when the
plugged out disks contained the lvm metadata.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>And i made the md driver, exported the
mddev_s.openers, and found the openers is not zero, so I could not delete the
software RAID5.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2>Thank you very much.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
