  14 .SH DESCRIPTION
  15 vgremove allows you to remove one or more volume groups.

  17 consider \fBvgreduce --removemissing\fP to make the volume group
  18 metadata consistent again.

  20 If there are logical volumes that exist in the volume group,
  21 a prompt will be given to confirm removal.  You can override
  22 the prompt with \fB-f\fP.

  33 It will continue irrespective of any possible udev processing
  34 in the background.  You should only use this if udev is not running
  35 or has rules that ignore the devices LVM2 creates.
