Hi,
I want to rename some volume groups and logical volumes.
I was not surprised when it would not let me rename active volumes.
So I booted up the system using the CentOS 5.5 LiveCD,
but the LiveCD makes the logical volumes browsable using Nautilus,
so they are still active and I can't rename them.
Tried:
/usr/sbin/lvchange -a n VolGroup00/LogVol00
but it still says:
LV VolGroup00/LogVol00 in use: not deactivating
Did some googling and found out that other folks have had
problems with mkinitrd, but I haven't gotten that far yet.
Made a wild guess and killed my nautilus process, a lot of stuff
disappeared from the desktop, then reappeared along with a new
nautilus process.
Still googling, but haven't found anything useful so far.
Any idea?
