EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

Environment Variables

LANG determines the language in which messages are displayed. 

If LANG is not specified or is set to the empty string, a default of "C" (see lang(5)) is used instead of LANG. 

If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, lvremove behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to "C".  See environ(5).

EXAMPLES

Remove a logical volume without requiring user confirmation:

lvremove −f /dev/vg01/lvol5

WARNINGS

This command destroys all data in the logical volume or volumes.
