Got a spare drive for my Proxmox setup so I wanted to add that as additional (backup) storage in lvmthin, but added it to lvm instead by mistake. It has not been GPT initialized, but now I fail to remove it.

trying to delete a volume group in LVM called lvmroot on /dev/sdb/

root@homered-conram:~# lvs -a
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
data pve twi-a-tz-- 59.66g 0.00 1.59
[data_tdata] pve Twi-ao---- 59.66g
[data_tmeta] pve ewi-ao---- 1.00g
[lvol0_pmspare] pve ewi------- 1.00g
root pve -wi-ao---- 27.75g
swap pve -wi-ao---- 8.00g

root@homered-conram:~# pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/sda3 pve lvm2 a-- <111.29g 13.87g
/dev/sdb lvmroot lvm2 a-- <111.79g <111.79g
 
and now the disk view gives me:

Code:
command '/sbin/lvs -S 'lv_name=~^osd-' -o devices,lv_name,lv_tags --noheadings --readonly --separator ';'' failed: exit code 5 (500)

I don't get it, the system has been up an hour and I already broke it.
 
Managed to fix that described above. Still not being able to remove lvmroot as described first,
 
ah well, reinstalling the lot... no biggie... but this seems to be a bit more of micromanagement than esxi ...
