Ubuntu clvm Uninstall Issue Fix

August 10th, 2006 by jay
,

If at some point you installed or tried to install the red hat cluster suite and/or clvm and you now can't remove clvm here is a fix.

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. $sudo rm /etc/init.d/clvm
  2. $sudo apt-get remove clvm -f --purge

I found this in the ubuntu forums.

    Very helpful - I was struggling to get rid of it and was on the verge of re-installing until I found this code! Worked first time!

    I'm glad it worked for you.

    It took me hours of reading the Ubuntu Forums before I found this hack so i figured I should post it for others to find.

    yes... great thanks from all of us who were browsing through packages and said "oooh! cluster computing!!"... only to realize we had neither a cluster nor a means to get rid of the package

    cheers!

    "oooh! cluster computing!!" - too funny because that's exactly how I ended up in this situation
