vgreduce allows you to remove one or more unused physical volumes
15
See \fBlvm\fP for common options.
18
Removes all empty physical volumes if none are given on command line.
21
Removes all missing physical volumes from the volume group and makes
22
the volume group consistent again.
24
It's a good idea to run this option with --test first to find out what it
25
would remove before running it for real.
27
Any logical volumes and dependent snapshots that were partly on the
28
missing disks get removed completely. This includes those parts
29
that lie on disks that are still present.
31
If your logical volumes spanned several disks including the ones that are
32
lost, you might want to try to salvage data first by activating your
33
logical volumes with --partial as described in \fBlvm (8)\fP.
