How do I remove LVM

LVM is the abbreviation for "Logical volume manager" and designates a function, which is integrated in the standard Kernel since version 2.4. For Windows users, this corresponds to the "dynamic data media" in Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP pro, for instance. A logical layer can be put between the
filesystem and the partition of a physical hard disk with LVM. So it is possible to stretch a file system over several partitions and hard drives, after the creation of a file system mind you, even if data was already stored therein. In addition, the filesystem is put on a virtual partition, called a logical volume . This is obviously the actual salient point of LVM: One can later add free storage space to a too small partition or hard drive which is administered with LVM. A condition is however that the partitions concerned were administered in advance by LVM.... Source

After the HD installation the Logical volume manager was installed and there was no need for it, so I wanted to remove it.

The #kanotix channel provided the solution fast

apt-get remove --purge lvm2? lvm-common

and that was it. Done

Thanks to slh
