[linux-lvm] Dumb LVM question

[Greg Freemyer]

All,

With LVM 2, how do I kill any and all snapshots.

With LVM 1 it was "vgscan -r".

I need to be able to do this with a script, so I'm hoping lvm 2 has a
way to kill all snapshots without knowing their names, etc.  If not, I
guess I can script up something to do the job.

Yes, you could use something like:

<quick_hacking_mode>
lvs|perl -ne '@a = split /\s+/,$_;if ($a[3] =~ /^s/) {print "/dev/$a[2]/$a[1]\n";}'|xargs lvremove -f
</quick_hacking_mode>
