lvremove - Remove LV







lvremove is a command in the context of LVM (Logical Volume Manager) and is used to remove a logical volume (LV) from an LVM setup, freeing up the associated storage space. If the LV is mounted, it must be unmounted before attempting to remove it. Additionally, removing an LV will result in the loss of any data stored within it.

The syntax for the lvremove command is: lvremove [OPTIONS] LV_PATH. In this syntax, 'OPTIONS' are flags that modify the behavior of the command, and 'LV_PATH' specifies the path to the logical volume you want to remove.

Some common options for the lvremove command include:

Example:
# lvemove /dev/myVG/myLV ←Remove the LV named 'myLV' from the volume group 'myVG'
