15       a volume group.
16

OPTIONS

18       See lvm for common options.
19
20       -a, --all
21              Removes all empty physical volumes if none are given on  command
22              line.
23
24       --removemissing
25              Removes  all  missing physical volumes from the volume group and
26              makes the volume group consistent again.
27
28              It's a good idea to run this option with --test  first  to  find
29              out what it would remove before running it for real.
30
31              Any  logical volumes and dependent snapshots that were partly on
32              the missing disks get removed completely.  This  includes  those
33              parts that lie on disks that are still present.
34
35              If your logical volumes spanned several disks including the ones
36              that are lost, you might want to try to salvage  data  first  by
37              activating  your  logical volumes with --partial as described in
38              lvm (8).
