Hello -

I have 2 LVM's and I want to delete one and expand the other to full maximum of the drive. (Using Fedora Core 6)

The two are:

/dev/mapper/VG0_root-LogVol00
/dev/mapper/VG0_swap-LogVol00

I want to get rid of the swap and expand the root.

I unmounted the drive and tried lvremove /dev/mapper/VG0_swap-LogVol00 and the output is:

"Volume group "mapper" not found"

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

don't use the mapper device, try /dev/VG0/root-LogVol00 i guess your real equivalent would be.

Thanks Acid!

OK I removed it, however when I do a vgdisplay it shows:

How can I get rid of the Volume Group VG0_swap?

Thanks

OK did a vgremove VG0_swap and now it is gone.

How can I expand VG0_root to fill maximum size of the disk?

Thanks

Here is the current situation:

Disk /dev/sda: 292.3 GB, 292326211584 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 35539 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 14 536 4200997+ 8e Linux LVM
/dev/sda3 537 676 1124550 8e Linux LVM

I want to make the VG0_root expand to fill up the rest of the 292G drive.

What are the commands to do this?

Thanks

Ok as oyu have removed the VG its free now. Now create a new VG with it and then you can use vgmerge. Below link can give u details :
