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. Tool will try to deactivate unused volume. To proceed with
damaged pools use -ff
- --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.
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
