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

vgextend - add physical volumes to a volume group SYNOPSIS
vgextend [-A|--autobackup{y|n}] [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] VolumeGroupName PhysicalVolumePath [PhysicalVolumePath...] DESCRIPTION
vgextend allows you to add one or more initialized physical volumes ( see pvcreate(8) ) to an existing volume group to extend it in size. 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). -h, --help Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully. -v, --verbose Gives verbose runtime information about lvextend's activities. Examples "vgextend vg00 /dev/sda4 /dev/sdn1" tries to extend the existing volume group "vg00" by the new physical volumes (see pvcreate(8) ) "/dev/sdn1" and /dev/sda4". DIAGNOSTICS
vgextend returns an exit code of 0 for success and > 0 for error: 1 no volume group name on command line 2 volume group name not given as first argument 3 no physical volume(s) on command line 4 invalid volume group name 5 error checking existence of volume group 6 inactive volume group 7 error reading VGDA 8 volume group is set to not extendable 9 maximum physical volume number of volume group exceeded 10 error reading all physical volumes 11 error setting up VGDA 12 error extending VGDA in kernel 13 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
