NAME
       vgremove - remove a volume group

SYNOPSIS
       vgremove [-d|--debug] [-f|--force] [-h|-?|--help] [--noudevsync] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] VolumeGroupName [VolumeGroup-
       Name...]

DESCRIPTION
       vgremove allows you to remove one or more volume groups.  If one or more physical volumes in the volume group  are  lost,
       consider vgreduce --removemissing to make the volume group metadata consistent again.

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

OPTIONS
       See lvm for common options.

       -f, --force
              Force the removal of any logical volumes on the volume group without confirmation.

       --noudevsync
              Disable udev synchronisation. The process will not wait for notification from udev.  It will continue irrespective
              of  any  possible udev processing in the background.  You should only use this if udev is not running or has rules
              that ignore the devices LVM2 creates.
