NAME

       vgremove — remove a volume group

SYNOPSIS

       vgremove   [--commandprofile   ProfileName]   [-d|--debug]   [-f|--force]  [-h|-?|--help]  [--noudevsync]
       [-S|--select Selection] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] [VolumeGroupName...]

DESCRIPTION

       vgremove allows you to remove one or more volume groups.  If one or more physical volumes in  the  volume
       group are lost, consider vgreduce --removemissing to make the volume group metadata consistent again.

       If  there  are logical volumes that exist in the volume group, a prompt will be given to confirm removal.
       You can override the prompt with -f.

OPTIONS

       See lvm(8) for common options.

       -f, --force
              Force the removal of any logical volumes on the volume group without confirmation.  To remove also
              damaged pool volumes use -ff.

       --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.
