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

NAME
       pvremove - Remove LVM label(s) from physical volume(s)

SYNOPSIS
       pvremove position_args
           [ option_args ]

DESCRIPTION
       pvremove wipes the label on a device so that LVM will no longer recognise it as a PV.

       A PV cannot be removed from a VG while it is used by an active LV.

       Repeat  the  force  option (-ff) to forcibly remove a PV belonging to an existing VG. Nor-
       mally, vgreduce(8) should be used instead.

USAGE
       pvremove PV ...

           [ -q|--quiet ]
           [ -t|--test ]

           [    --nolocking ]
           [    --profile String ]
           [    --version ]

OPTIONS
       --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.

       --nolocking
              Disable locking.

       --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.

       -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
       PV
              Physical Volume name, a device path under /dev.  For commands managing physical ex-
              tents, a PV positional arg generally accepts a suffix indicating a range (or multi-
              ple ranges) of physical extents (PEs). When the first PE is omitted, it defaults to
              the start of the device, and when the last PE is omitted it defaults to end.  Start
              and end range (inclusive): PV[:PE-PE]...  Start and length range (counting from 0):
              PV[:PE+PE]...

       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.
