Deleting Storage id is PVE 1.4 beta: bug ?

[andrea]

During the test of the new storage model, we added a new storage id over a LVM volume group.

Now this volume group where the storage id has been created is holding a mounted logical volume: this makes impossible to delete the storage id, even if it is disabled.

To reproduce, (even without a new VG), simply create a LVM storage id over the existing volume group PVE creates during installation: since /dev/pve holds many mounted logical volumes, now it is impossible to delete the created storage id.

We will not delete any data anyways - IMHO this is simply to dangerous. 'Delete' just removes the storage config, but does not remove any data on the storage itself.

Dietmar, thank you for your reply. Yes, it was exactly my question: how the storage id can be deleted when it is created over a VG where a mount exists?

Or, where PVE holds the storage id configs, se we can manually delete it?

Still not sure if I uderstand you correctly. But the storage config is in

/etc/pve/storage.cfg

Thanks Dietmar, and my apologize for not being able to be clearer. Basically I was asking how to delete manually a Storage Id, since I was unable to do it from the web interface. You answered, thanks!

There is also a command line tool called 'pvesm', see

# man pvesm
