LVMCHANGE(8) System Manager's Manual LVMCHANGE(8) NAME
lvmchange - change attributes of the logical volume manager SYNOPSIS
lvmchange [-d|--debug] [-f|--force] [-h|--help] {[-i|--iop_verion]| [-R|--reset]} [-v|--verbose] DESCRIPTION
lvmchange allows you to reset the logical volume manager. Please be careful to have all logical volumes closed and/or unused! OPTIONS -d, --debug Enables additional debugging output (if compiled with DEBUG). -f, --force Force the action without confirmation. -h, --help Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully. -i, --iop_version Display the LVM io protocol version. This version number ensures that no incompatible data is passed to the driver. -R, --reset Emergency reset of the logical volume manager. This function is a "last resort" if something goes wrong to allow the the logical volume manager module to be unloaded. Not used in normal operation. Please be careful NOT to reset when logical volumes are in use!!! -v, --verbose Gives verbose information about lvmchange's activities. Example "lvmchange -fR" resets the logical volume manager without confirmation. DIAGNOSTICS
lvmchange returns an exit code of 0 for success or > 0 for error: 1 error opening logical volume manager 2 error resetting logical volume manager 95 driver/module not in kernel 96 invalid I/O protocol version 97 error locking logical volume manager 99 invalid command line See also lvm(8), vgcreate(8), lvcreate(8) AUTHOR

LVREMOVE(8) System Manager's Manual LVREMOVE(8) NAME
lvremove - remove a logical volume SYNOPSIS
lvremove [-A|--autobackup {y|n}] [-d|--debug] [-f|--force] [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] LogicalVolumePath [LogicalVolumePath...] DESCRIPTION
lvremove allows you to remove one or more inactive logical volumes. OPTIONS -A, --autobackup y/n Controls automatic backup of VG metadata after the change ( see vgcfgbackup(8) ). Default is yes. -d, --debug Enables additional debugging output (if compiled with DEBUG). -f, --force Force remove without confirmation. -h, --help Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully. -v, --verbose Gives verbose runtime information about lvremove's activities. Example "lvremove -f /dev/vg00/lvol1" removes that inactive logical volume unconditionally. DIAGNOSTICS
lvremove returns an exit code of 0 for success and > 0 for error: 1 no logical volume name on command line 2 invalid logical volume name 3 error checking existence of volume group 4 inactive volume group 5 error getting VGDA from kernel 6 error getting status of logical volume from kernel 7 open logical volume cannot be removed 8 error reading VGDA 9 error removing logical volume from VGDA 10 error removing logical volume from kernel 11 error writing VGDA to physical volume(s) 95 driver/module not in kernel 96 invalid I/O protocol version 97 error locking logical volume manager 98 invalid lvmtab (run vgscan(8)) 99 invalid command line ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
LVM_AUTOBACKUP If this variable is set to "no" then the automatic backup of VG metadata is turned off. LVM_VG_MAX_BACKUPS This variable determines the backup history depth of kept VGDA copy files in /etc/lvmconf. It can be set to a positive number between 0 and 999. The higher this number is, the more changes you can restore using vgcfgrestore(8). LVM_VG_NAME The default Volume Group Name to use. Setting this variable enables you to enter just the Logical Volume Name rather than its com- plete path. See also lvm(8), lvcreate(8), lvdisplay(8), lvscan(8) AUTHOR
