LVREMOVE(8)                                                   System Manager's Manual                                                  LVREMOVE(8)

NAME

       lvremove - remove a logical volume

SYNOPSIS

       lvremove  [-A|--autobackup  {y|n}]  [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] [--version] [-f|--force] [--noudevsync] LogicalVol-
       ume{Name|Path} [LogicalVolume{Name|Path}...]

DESCRIPTION

       lvremove removes one or more logical volumes.  Confirmation will be requested before  deactivating  any  active  logical  volume  prior  to
       removal.   Logical  volumes  cannot be deactivated or removed while they are open (e.g. if they contain a mounted filesystem).  Removing an
       origin logical volume will also remove all dependent snapshots.

       If the logical volume is clustered then it must be deactivated on all nodes in the cluster before it can be removed. A single lvchange com-
       mand issued from one node can do this.

OPTIONS

       See lvm(8) for common options.

       -f, --force
              Remove active logical volumes without confirmation.

       --noudevsync
              Disable  udev  synchronisation. The process will not wait for notification from udev.  It will continue irrespective of any possible
              udev processing in the background.  You should only use this if udev is not running or has rules that ignore the devices  LVM2  cre-
              ates.

EXAMPLES

       Remove the active logical volume lvol1 in volume group vg00 without asking for confirmation:

       lvremove -f vg00/lvol1

       Remove all logical volumes in volume group vg00:

       lvremove vg00
