NAME
       lvremove - remove a logical volume

SYNOPSIS
       lvremove	 [-A|--autobackup  {y|n}] [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-t|--test]
       [-v|--verbose]  [--version]  [-f|--force]  [--noudevsync]   LogicalVol‐
       ume{Name|Path} [LogicalVolume{Name|Path}...]

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 ori‐
       gin 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  com‐
       mand 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
