Dave Wysochanski f7d624e684 Fix "lvremove -f vgname" when vgname contains snapshots.
Prior to this patch, "lvremove -f vgname" would fail if vgname contained
one or more snapshot LVs.  Now this passes, but has a side-effect.
If you issue "lvremove vgname" where vgname contains one or more snaps,
you will get an extra "y/n" prompt to remove the same snapshot.
Example:
$ lvs
  LV     VG     Attr   LSize  Origin Snap%  Move Log Copy%  Convert
  lvsnap vgtest swi-a- 16.00M lvtest   0.05
  lvtest vgtest owi-a- 64.00M
$ lvremove vgtest
Do you really want to remove active logical volume "lvsnap"? [y/n]: n
  Logical volume "lvsnap" not removed
Do you really want to remove active logical volume "lvsnap"? [y/n]: n
  Logical volume "lvsnap" not removed
  Command failed with status code 5.

Fixing this will most likely require modification of the iterator
function, process_each_lvs_in_vg() to iterate over snaps in some
cases (e.g. lvs, vgdisplay -v) but not in others (lvremove).

.SH NAME
lvremove \- remove a logical volume
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B lvremove
[\-A|\-\-autobackup y|n] [\-d|\-\-debug] [\-f|\-\-force]
[\-h|\-?|\-\-help]
[\-t|\-\-test]
[\-v|\-\-verbose] LogicalVolumePath [LogicalVolumePath...]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBlvremove\fP 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 origin logical volume will also remove all dependent snapshots.
.sp
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 command
issued from one node can do this.
.SH OPTIONS
See \fBlvm\fP(8) for common options.
.TP
.I \-f, \-\-force
Remove active logical volumes without confirmation.
.SH EXAMPLES
Remove the active logical volume lvol1 in volume group vg00
without asking for confirmation:
.sp
\ \fBlvremove -f vg00/lvol1\fP
.sp
Remove all logical volumes in volume group vg00:
.sp
\ \fBlvremove vg00\fP
