.TH PVREMOVE 8 "LVM TOOLS #VERSION#" "Red Hat, Inc."
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
pvremove - Remove LVM label(s) from physical volume(s)
|
|
.
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fBpvremove\fP \fIposition_args\fP
|
|
.br
|
|
[ \fIoption_args\fP ]
|
|
.br
|
|
.SH 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 (\fB-ff\fP) to forcibly remove a PV belonging to
|
|
an existing VG. Normally, \fBvgreduce\fP(8) should be used instead.

or may use section/field syntax.

Overrides current output format for reports which is defined globally by
|
|
the report/output_format setting in lvm.conf.
|
|
\fBbasic\fP 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. \fBjson\fP produces report
|
|
output in JSON format. See \fBlvmreport\fP(7) for more information.

\fB-t\fP|\fB--test\fP

|

Run in test mode. Commands will not update metadata.
|
|
This is implemented by disabling all metadata writing but nevertheless
|
|
returning success to the calling function. 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.

\fIPV\fP
|
|
.br
|
|
Physical Volume name, a device path under /dev.
|
|
For commands managing physical extents, a PV positional arg
|
|
generally accepts a suffix indicating a range (or multiple 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): \fIPV\fP[\fB:\fP\fIPE\fP\fB-\fP\fIPE\fP]...
|
|
Start and length range (counting from 0): \fIPV\fP[\fB:\fP\fIPE\fP\fB+\fP\fIPE\fP]...
|
|
.HP
|

\fIString\fP
|

.br
|
|
See the option description for information about the string content.
|
|
.HP
|
|
\fISize\fP[UNIT]
|
|
.br
|
|
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 refer to 1024.
|
|
The default input unit is specified by letter, followed by |UNIT.
|
|
UNIT represents other possible input units: \fBbBsSkKmMgGtTpPeE\fP.
|
|
b|B is bytes, s|S is sectors of 512 bytes, k|K is kilobytes,
|
|
m|M is megabytes, g|G is gigabytes, t|T is terabytes,
|
|
p|P is petabytes, e|E is exabytes.
|
|
(This should not be confused with the output control --units, where
|
|
capital letters mean multiple of 1000.)
|
|
.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
|
|
See \fBlvm\fP(8) for information about environment variables used by lvm.
|
|
For example, LVM_VG_NAME can generally be substituted for a required VG parameter.
