LVREMOVE(8)                          System Manager's Manual                          LVREMOVE(8)

NAME
       lvremove - Remove logical volume(s) from the system

SYNOPSIS
       lvremove position_args
           [ option_args ]

DESCRIPTION
       lvremove  removes one or more LVs. For standard LVs, this returns the logical extents that
       were used by the LV to the VG for use by other LVs.

       Confirmation will be requested before deactivating any active LV prior  to  removal.   LVs
       cannot  be  deactivated  or  removed  while they are open (e.g.  if they contain a mounted
       filesystem). Removing an origin LV will also remove all dependent snapshots.

       When a single force option is used, LVs are removed without confirmation, and the  command
       will try to deactivate unused LVs.

       To remove damaged LVs, two force options may be required (-ff).

       Historical LVs

       If  the  configuration setting metadata/record_lvs_history is enabled and the LV being re-
       moved forms part of the history of at least one LV that is still present, then  a  simpli-
       fied  representation  of  the  LV  will  be  retained.  This  includes the time of removal
       (lv_time_removed reporting field),  creation  time  (lv_time),  name  (lv_name),  LV  uuid
       (lv_uuid)  and VG name (vg_name). This allows later reporting to see the ancestry chain of
       thin snapshot volumes, even after some intermediate LVs have been removed.  The  names  of
       such  historical  LVs  acquire  a hyphen as a prefix (e.g. '-lvol1') and cannot be reacti-
       vated.  Use lvremove a second time, with the hyphen, to remove the record of the former LV
       completely.

           [    --version ]

OPTIONS
       -A|--autobackup y|n
              Specifies if metadata should be backed up automatically after a change.  Enabling
              this is strongly advised! See vgcfgbackup(8) for more information.

       --commandprofile String
              The command profile to use for command configuration.  See lvm.conf(5) for more in-
              formation about profiles.

       --config String
              Config settings for the command. These override lvm.conf settings.  The String arg
              uses the same format as lvm.conf, or may use section/field syntax.  See lvm.conf(5)
              for more information about config.

       -d|--debug ...
              Set debug level. Repeat from 1 to 6 times to increase the detail of messages sent
              to the log file and/or syslog (if configured).

       --driverloaded y|n
              If set to no, the command will not attempt to use device-mapper.  For testing and
              debugging.

       -f|--force ...
              Override various checks, confirmations and protections.  Use with extreme caution.

       -h|--help
              Display help text.

       --lockopt String
              Used to pass options for special cases to lvmlockd.  See lvmlockd(8) for more in-
              formation.

       --longhelp
              Display long help text.

       --nohistory
              Do not record history of LVs being removed.  This has no effect unless the configu-
              ration setting metadata/record_lvs_history is enabled.

       --nolocking
              Disable locking.

       --noudevsync
              Disables udev synchronisation. The process will not wait for notification from
              udev. It will continue irrespective of any possible udev processing in the back-
              ground. Only use this if udev is not running or has rules that ignore the devices
              LVM creates.

       --profile String
              An alias for --commandprofile or --metadataprofile, depending on the command.

       -q|--quiet ...
              Suppress output and log messages. Overrides --debug and --verbose.  Repeat once to
              also suppress any prompts with answer 'no'.

       --reportformat basic|json
              Overrides current output format for reports which is defined globally by the re-
              port/output_format setting in lvm.conf.  basic is the original format with columns
              and rows.  If there is more than one report per command, each report is prefixed
              with the report name for identification. json produces report output in JSON for-
              mat. See lvmreport(7) for more information.

       -S|--select String
              Select objects for processing and reporting based on specified criteria.  The cri-
              teria syntax is described by --select help and lvmreport(7).  For reporting com-
              mands, one row is displayed for each object matching the criteria.  See --options
              help for selectable object fields.  Rows can be displayed with an additional "se-
              lected" field (-o selected) showing 1 if the row matches the selection and 0 other-
              wise.  For non-reporting commands which process LVM entities, the selection is used
              to choose items to process.

       -t|--test
              Run in test mode. Commands will not update metadata.  This is implemented by dis-
              abling all metadata writing but nevertheless returning success to the calling func-
              tion. This may lead to unusual error messages in multi-stage operations if a tool
              relies on reading back metadata it believes has changed but hasn't.

       -v|--verbose ...
              Set verbose level. Repeat from 1 to 4 times to increase the detail of messages sent
              to stdout and stderr.

       --version
              Display version information.

       -y|--yes
              Do not prompt for confirmation interactively but always assume the answer yes. Use
              with extreme caution.  (For automatic no, see -qq.)

VARIABLES
       VG
              Volume Group name.  See lvm(8) for valid names.

       LV
              Logical Volume name.  See lvm(8) for valid names.  An LV positional  arg  generally
              includes the VG name and LV name, e.g. VG/LV.

       Tag
              Tag  name.  See lvm(8) for information about tag names and using tags in place of a
              VG, LV or PV.

       Select
              Select indicates that a required positional parameter can be omitted if  the  --se-
              lect option is used.  No arg appears in this position.

       String
              See the option description for information about the string content.

       Size[UNIT]
              Size  is  an  input  number  that accepts an optional unit.  Input units are always
              treated as base two values, regardless of capitalization, e.g. 'k' and 'K' both re-
              fer  to  1024.   The  default input unit is specified by letter, followed by |UNIT.
              UNIT represents other possible input units: bBsSkKmMgGtTpPeE.  b|B is bytes, s|S is
              sectors  of  512 bytes, k|K is KiB, m|M is MiB, g|G is GiB, t|T is TiB, p|P is PiB,
              e|E is EiB.  (This should not be confused with the output  control  --units,  where
              capital letters mean multiple of 1000.)

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       See  lvm(8)  for  information  about  environment  variables  used  by  lvm.  For example,
       LVM_VG_NAME can generally be substituted for a required VG parameter.

EXAMPLES
       Remove an active LV without asking for confirmation.
       lvremove -f vg00/lvol1

       Remove all LVs the specified VG.
       lvremove vg00
