16 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 17 | vgreduce allows you to remove one or more unused physical volumes | |
| 18 | from a volume group. | |
| 19 | .SH OPTIONS | |
| c63b155d | 20 | See \fBlvm\fP(8) for common options. |

| c63b155d | 22 | .BR \-a ", " \-\-all |
| 922ce479 | 23 | Removes all empty physical volumes if none are given on command line. |

26 | Removes all missing physical volumes from the volume group, if there are no |
| 27 | logical volumes allocated on those. This resumes normal operation of the volume | |
| 28 | group (new logical volumes may again be created, changed and so on). | |
| a421f743 | 29 | |
| 8c5bcdab AK |
30 | If this is not possible (there are logical volumes referencing the missing |
| 31 | physical volumes) and you cannot or do not want to remove them manually, you | |
| c63b155d ZK |
32 | can run this option with \fB--force\fP to have \fBvgreduce\fP |
| 33 | remove any partial LVs. | |
| a421f743 AK |
34 | |
| 35 | Any logical volumes and dependent snapshots that were partly on the | |
| 36 | missing disks get removed completely. This includes those parts | |
| 37 | that lie on disks that are still present. | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | If your logical volumes spanned several disks including the ones that are | |
| 40 | lost, you might want to try to salvage data first by activating your | |
| c63b155d | 41 | logical volumes with \fB--partial\fP as described in \fBlvm\fP(8). |
