I have an AIX machine with an Informix database running on it. I
dropped a test database and would like to reclaim the raw device space
it occupied. I know the first requirement of Informix is to backup the
entire database. That has been done. When I attempt to remove the lv,
I receive the following error:
0516-1008 rmlv: Logical volume riftst6lv must be closed. If the logical
volume contains a filesystem, the umount command will close
the LV device.
In /dev, the spaces look like this:
brw-rw---- 1 informix informix 26, 9 Aug 05 01:52 riftst5lv
brw-rw---- 1 informix informix 24, 13 Aug 05 01:52 riftst6lv
crw-rw---- 1 root system 26, 9 Feb 27 2003 rriftst5lv
crw-rw---- 1 root system 24, 13 Mar 05 2003 rriftst6lv
A list of the lv's shows this:
LV NAME TYPE LPs PPs PVs LV STATE MOUNT POINT
riftst5lv jfs 116 116 2 open/syncd N/A
riftst6lv jfs 86 86 2 open/syncd N/A
There is no associated mounted file system. How do I close these lv's
and reclaim this space? TIA
