More LVM issues
by sgosnell from LinuxQuestions.org on (#56SYV)
Encrypted LVM installation on Debian 10 (Buster)
I've been reading lots of docs, but I've been unable to solve my current issue. I have plenty of space on my internal SSD, and I want to remove the SD card that is part of the root volume. I formatted the entire SSD as an LVM volume, so there is no space left on it outside the volume. The system insists that there are extents on the SD card that are in use, and there may well be. I've tried using pvmove but there are no extents available for allocation. Code:root@chromebox:/home/stan# pvmove /dev/sdc1
No extents available for allocation.
