NAME

       vgmknodes - recreate volume group directory and logical volume special files

SYNOPSIS

       vgmknodes [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [--refresh] [-v|--verbose] [[VolumeGroupName | LogicalVolumePath]...]

DESCRIPTION

       Checks the LVM2 special files in /dev that are needed for active logical volumes and creates any missing ones and removes unused ones.

OPTIONS

       --refresh
	      If  any  logical	volume	in the volume group is active, reload its metadata.  This is not necessary in normal operation, but may be
	      useful if something has gone wrong or if you're doing clustering manually without a clustered lock manager.

       See lvm for common options.

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
