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 command issued from
one node can do this.
OPTIONS¶
See
lvm(8) for common options.
- -f, --force
- Remove active logical volumes without confirmation.
- --noudevsync
- Disable udev synchronisation. The process will not wait for notification
from udev. It will continue irrespective of any possible udev processing
in the background. You should only use this if udev is not running or has
rules that ignore the devices LVM2 creates.
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
