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.
Is VolGroup00/LogVol00 mounted?
Is VolGroup00/LogVol00 a swap partition that the Live CD is using?
