A logical volume must be closed before it can be removed:

# umount /dev/myvg/homevol # lvremove /dev/myvg/homevol lvremove -- do you really want to remove "/dev/myvg/homevol"? [y/n]: y lvremove -- doing automatic backup of volume group "myvg" lvremove -- logical volume "/dev/myvg/homevol" successfully removed
