Hello,

I get the following error with lvm2.02.98:
-----------
#/sbin/vgdisplay --units k -v 'system'

   --- Volume group ---
   VG Name               system
   System ID
   Format                lvm2

   VG Access             read/write
   VG Status             resizable
   MAX LV                0
   Cur LV                0
   Open LV               0

   PV Status             allocatable
   Total PE / Free PE    25554 / 25554
-----------

VG system is empty, but still:
-----------
# /sbin/vgremove 'system'
-----------
failes with status code 5, which means 'can't remove volume group 
containing logical volumes' (from man page).

Looks like a bug in vgremove?

Best regards,
