DESCRIPTION
       lvmchange allows you to reset the logical volume  manager.   Please  be
       careful to have all logical volumes closed and/or unused!

       -i, --iop_version

              that no incompatible data is passed to the driver.

       -R, --reset

              volume manager module to be unloaded.  Not used in normal opera-
              tion. Please be careful NOT to reset when logical volumes are in
              use!!!

       -v, --verbose
              Gives verbose information about lvmchange's activities.

Example
       "lvmchange -fR" resets the logical volume manager without confirmation.
