The root filesystem is in a VolGroup that consists of /dev/sda5 and /dev/sdd1.
So in between those 2 drives there is sdb and sdc, and i would like to remove those. I am guessing that sdd will be renamed to sdb at next reboot. So question: will this break the root VG?
I can see with vgdisplay that the UUIDs of the partitions are noted in the VG, so i am hoping this could be done (?).
Also, this is a Virtual Machine running inside ESXi, if that matters.
OS: Ubuntu 16.04 (yes yes, soon to be upgraded, i promise)
Kernel: 4.4.0
ESXi: 7.0.1
