| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| vgremove allows you to remove one or more volume groups. |
| If one or more physical volumes in the volume group are lost, |
| consider \fBvgreduce \-\-removemissing\fP to make the volume group |
| metadata consistent again. |
| .sp |
| 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 \fB\-f\fP. |
| .SH OPTIONS |
| See \fBlvm\fP(8) for common options. |
| .TP |
| .BR \-f ", " \-\-force |
| Force the removal of any logical volumes on the volume group |
| without confirmation. |
| To remove also damaged pool volumes use \-ff. |
| .TP |
| .BR \-\-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. |
