I have a running system where I have a cloned drive and need to get data off it. This part I can do. where i run into problems is removing the cloned volume. here is what I do:
mount cloned volume.
rescan-scsibus.sh -a
vgimportclone /dev/sdc
vgchange -ay sys1
mount lv to restore point
copy data
lvremove the volumes
vgchange an sys1 to take it off line
pvremove /dev/sdc - this is where i have problems.
backuptesting:/ # pvremove -ff /dev/sdc -vv

Can’t open /dev/sdc exclusively - not removing. Mounted filesystem?
Unlocking /run/lvm/lock/P_orphans
it seems to be setting the id incorrectly the second time it does it and setting it to the active ID that should not be removed.
any assistance on how to do this correctly would be appreciated.
