Curtin is currently using a two force: $ lvremove --force --force vg_lv_name
as indicating here: https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/curtin/blob/14c0560ed4482cb3b514fbec8d89118bd775652f/curtin/block/clear_holders.py#L136-L138 # LVREMOVE(8) # Confirmation will be requested before deactivating any active LV prior to removal. LVs cannot be deactivated or removed while they are open (e.g. if they contain a mounted filesystem). Reāmoving an origin LV will also remove all dependent snapshots. When a single force option is used, LVs are removed without confirmation, and the command will try to deactivate unused LVs. To remove damaged LVs, two force options may be required (-ff). -f|--force ... Override various checks, confirmations and protections. Use with extreme caution. ** Tags added: sts -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1871874 Title: lvmremove occasionally fails on nodes with multiple volumes and curtin does not catch the failure To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/curtin/+bug/1871874/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
