[linux-lvm] vgreduce fails

[Spam]

  Yes  I tried that way too. I had tried restarting the system with no
  luck  too.  But  when  I  changed to LVM2 it worked fine without any
  problems.  I  have  no  idea what was wrong. I tried to move several
  different disks and all gave the same error with LVM1.
