[linux-lvm] vgreduce --removemissing

[jheiss-lvm at ofb.net]

--partial doesn't seem to be a valid option for vgreduce.

Or did you mean something like 'lvchange -ay --partial /dev/typhoon/backup'
or 'vgchange -ay --partial typhoon'?

[root at typhoon ~]# lvchange -ay --partial /dev/typhoon/backup

The end result is roughly what the messages indicate, the remaining good
LV is made available read-only.  However, lvdisplay and vgdisplay both
still fail and I'm no closer to dumping the unwanted LV and establishing
a clean configuration.

As for versions, I'm running FC3 patched up to the latest and greatest:

[root at typhoon ~]# rpm -q lvm2
lvm2-2.00.25-1.01
[root at typhoon ~]# uname -a
Linux typhoon.aput.net 2.6.11-1.27_FC3 #1 Tue May 17 20:27:37 EDT 2005 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
