NAME
lvremove - Removes one or more logical volumes from a volume group
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/lvremove [-f] LogicalVolumePath ...
DESCRIPTION
This command is no longer supported on Digital UNIX systems. Features
formerly provided by the Logical Volume Manager (LVM) are now provided
by the Logical Storage Manager (LSM). Existing LVM volumes must be mi-
grated to LSM, using an encapsulation process. For information about
moving LVM volumes to LSM, see the vollvmencap(8) reference page and
the manual Logical Storage Manager.
The lvremove command removes the logical volume(s) specified by the
LogicalVolumePath parameter. You must close the logical volume(s) be-
fore removing them. For example, if the logical volume contains a file
system, you must unmount the file system.

ter: lvremove -f /dev/vg01/lv05 The program removes the logical volume
from the volume group.
