I see now. In that case you'd need to use the stop, detach, and rm commands. Some of these will need the -f switch to force the action. It can be done, I've done it. It can be difficult to get the vinum objects into a state where you can do what you want, so if I'm removing things anyway (and I don't care what happens to the data) I usually just do rm -f which will force the removal no matter what's going on. -- If a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, then what can I get for two hands in the bush?
