We have a serious conflict here. The df command shows you as on sda, but LVM is reporting sdb. My gut reaction is to have you do a:
vgreduce --test VolGroup00 /dev/sdb2
and see if it would be successful. If so, then remove the "--test" and cross your fingers.
[root@mutt temp]# vgreduce --test VolGroup00 /dev/sdb2 Test mode: Metadata will NOT be updated. Physical Volume "/dev/sdb2" not found in Volume Group "VolGroup00"
This is consistent with the fact that the "active" Volume Group that I'm using is not on /dev/sdb2. It's just the "lvdisplay -vm" command that shows it as being in use.
