lvremove - remove a logical volume
lvremove [-A|--autobackup y|n] [-d|--debug] [-f|--force] [-h|-?|--help]
[-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] LogicalVolumePath [LogicalVolumePath...]
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 command
issued from one node can do this.
See lvm(8) for common options.
- -f, --force
- Remove active logical volumes without confirmation.
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
