NAME

       lvremove - remove a logical volume

SYNOPSIS

       lvremove [-A|--autobackup y|n] [-d|--debug] [-f|--force] [-h|-?|--help] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] LogicalVolumePath [LogicalVolumePath...]

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.

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
