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 (\fB-ff\fP).
|
|
|
|
\fBHistorical LVs\fP
|
|
|
|
If the configuration setting \fBmetadata/record_lvs_history\fP is enabled
|
|
and the LV being removed forms part of the history of at least one LV that
|
|
is still present, then a simplified representation of the LV will be
|
|
retained. This includes the time of removal (\fBlv_time_removed\fP
|
|
reporting field), creation time (\fBlv_time\fP), name (\fBlv_name\fP), LV
|
|
uuid (\fBlv_uuid\fP) and VG name (\fBvg_name\fP). 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 reactivated.
|
|
Use lvremove a second time, with the hyphen, to remove the record of the
|
|
former LV completely.
