NAME

       vgremove - remove a volume group

SYNOPSIS

       vgremove   [-d|--debug]   [-f|--force]   [-h|-?|--help]  [--noudevsync]
       [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] VolumeGroupName [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 for common options.

       -f, --force
              Force the removal of any logical volumes  on  the  volume  group
              without confirmation.

       --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.
