-.SH DESCRIPTION
-lvremove 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.
-.sp
-If the configuration setting \fBmetadata/record_lvs_history\fP is enabled
-and the logical volume being removed forms part of the history of at least
-one logical volume that is still present then a simplified representation of
-the logical volume 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) and
-allows you to see the ancestry chain of thin snapshot volumes even after
-some intermediate logical volumes have been removed.
-The names of such historical logical volumes 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 logical volume completely.
-.SH OPTIONS
-See \fBlvm\fP(8) for common options.
-.TP
-.BR \-f ", " \-\-force
-Remove active logical volumes without confirmation.
-Tool will try to deactivate \fIunused\fP volume.
-To proceed with damaged pools use \-ff
-.TP
-.B \-\-nohistory
-Disable the recording of history of logical volumes which are being removed.
-(This has no effect unless the configuration setting
-\fBmetadata/record_lvs_history\fP is enabled.)
-.TP
-.B \-\-noudevsync
-Disable udev synchronisation. The
-process will not wait for notification from udev.
-It will continue irrespective of any possible udev processing
-in the background. You should only use this if udev is not running
-or has rules that ignore the devices LVM2 creates.
-.SH Examples
-Remove the active logical volume lvol1 in volume group vg00
-without asking for confirmation:
-.sp
-.B lvremove \-f vg00/lvol1
-.sp
-Remove all logical volumes in volume group vg00:
-.sp
-.B lvremove vg00
