Hi All,

I was checking one of my Service Guard Cluster for inconsistencies and I
noticed that one of the disks in a volume group had a few dozen extents in
use but had no logical volume name just ?????.

I created some device files using mknod and using fstyp saw that this was
a vxfs filesystem. I mounted it and sure enough it was an empty
filesystem. I though it best to delete it but when I used lvremove I got
the message:

Couldn't remove logical volume "lv name"
You must lvrmboot -s before removing a swap device.

lvlnboot -v and swapinfo however do not refer to this device. Has these
been configured as filesystem swap and how can I get rid of it?

Should I use dd to blat over the front?

thanks

Julian
