NAME

6       lvremove - remove a logical volume
7

SYNOPSIS

9       lvremove [-A/--autobackup y/n] [-d/--debug] [-f/--force] [-h/-?/--help]
10       [-t/--test] [-v/--verbose] LogicalVolumePath [LogicalVolumePath...]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       lvremove removes one or more logical  volumes.   Confirmation  will  be
14       requested  before  deactivating  any  active  logical  volume  prior to
15       removal.  Logical volumes cannot be deactivated or removed  while  they
16       are open (e.g. if they contain a mounted filesystem).
17
18       If  the  logical volume is clustered then it must be deactivated on all
19       nodes in the cluster before it can be removed. A single  lvchange  com‐
20       mand issued from one node can do this.
