.SH OPTIONS
2021-04-15 21:11:52 +03:00
.
.
.HP
\fB--commandprofile\fP \fIString\fP
.br
The command profile to use for command configuration.

.
.HP
\fB--config\fP \fIString\fP
.br
2021-04-15 21:11:52 +03:00
Config settings for the command. These override \fBlvm.conf\fP(5) settings.
The String arg uses the same format as \fBlvm.conf\fP(5),
or may use section/field syntax.
See \fBlvm.conf\fP(5) for more information about config.
2021-04-15 21:11:52 +03:00
.
.HP
\fB-d\fP|\fB--debug\fP ...
.br
Set debug level. Repeat from 1 to 6 times to increase the detail of
messages sent to the log file and/or syslog (if configured).
2021-04-15 21:11:52 +03:00
.
.HP
2021-02-24 14:40:15 +03:00
\fB--devices\fP \fIPV\fP
.br
Devices that the command can use. This option can be repeated
or accepts a comma separated list of devices. This overrides
the devices file.
2021-04-15 21:11:52 +03:00
.
.HP
2021-02-24 14:40:15 +03:00
\fB--devicesfile\fP \fIString\fP
.br
A file listing devices that LVM should use.
2021-04-15 21:11:52 +03:00
The file must exist in \fI#DEFAULT_SYS_DIR#/devices/\fP and is managed
with the \fBlvmdevices\fP(8) command.
This overrides the \fBlvm.conf\fP(5) \fBdevices/devicesfile\fP and
\fBdevices/use_devicesfile\fP settings.
.
.HP
\fB--driverloaded\fP \fBy\fP|\fBn\fP
.br
If set to no, the command will not attempt to use device-mapper.
For testing and debugging.

.HP
\fB-h\fP|\fB--help\fP
.br
2021-04-08 22:08:48 +03:00

2021-04-15 21:11:52 +03:00
.
.HP
2021-08-06 14:23:11 +03:00

2018-01-12 03:30:52 +03:00
\fB--lockopt\fP \fIString\fP
.br
Used to pass options for special cases to lvmlockd.
See \fBlvmlockd\fP(8) for more information.
2021-04-15 21:11:52 +03:00
.
.HP
\fB--longhelp\fP
.br
2021-04-08 22:08:48 +03:00
Display long help text.
2021-04-15 21:11:52 +03:00
.
.HP
2021-09-22 15:48:58 +03:00
\fB--nohints\fP
.br
Do not use the hints file to locate devices for PVs. A command may read
more devices to find PVs when hints are not used. The command will still
perform standard hint file invalidation where appropriate.
.
.HP
2018-06-08 23:16:00 +03:00
\fB--nolocking\fP
.br
2021-04-08 22:08:48 +03:00
Disable locking.
2021-04-15 21:11:52 +03:00
.
.HP
\fB--profile\fP \fIString\fP
.br
An alias for --commandprofile or --metadataprofile, depending
on the command.
2021-04-15 21:11:52 +03:00
.
.HP
\fB-q\fP|\fB--quiet\fP ...
.br
Suppress output and log messages. Overrides --debug and --verbose.
2017-05-03 13:23:15 +03:00
Repeat once to also suppress any prompts with answer 'no'.
2021-04-15 21:11:52 +03:00
.
.HP
\fB--reportformat\fP \fBbasic\fP|\fBjson\fP
.br
Overrides current output format for reports which is defined globally by
2021-04-15 21:11:52 +03:00
the report/output_format setting in \fBlvm.conf\fP(5).
\fBbasic\fP is the original format with columns and rows.
If there is more than one report per command, each report is prefixed
with the report name for identification. \fBjson\fP produces report
output in JSON format. See \fBlvmreport\fP(7) for more information.
2021-04-15 21:11:52 +03:00
.
.HP
\fB-t\fP|\fB--test\fP
.br
Run in test mode. Commands will not update metadata.
This is implemented by disabling all metadata writing but nevertheless
returning success to the calling function. This may lead to unusual
error messages in multi-stage operations if a tool relies on reading
back metadata it believes has changed but hasn't.
2021-04-15 21:11:52 +03:00
.
.HP
2019-06-15 09:30:04 +03:00
\fB--updatemetadata\fP
.br
Update VG metadata to correct problems.
2020-06-23 13:19:35 +03:00
If VG metadata was updated while a PV was missing, and the PV
reappears with an old version of metadata, then this option
(or any other command that writes metadata) will update the
metadata on the previously missing PV. If a PV was removed
from a VG while it was missing, and the PV reappears, using
this option will clear the outdated metadata from the previously
missing PV. If metadata text is damaged on one PV, using this
option will replace the damaged metadata text. For more severe
damage, e.g. with headers, see \fBpvck\fP(8).
2021-04-15 21:11:52 +03:00
.
.HP
\fB-v\fP|\fB--verbose\fP ...
.br
Set verbose level. Repeat from 1 to 4 times to increase the detail
of messages sent to stdout and stderr.
2021-04-15 21:11:52 +03:00
.
.HP
\fB--version\fP
.br
2021-04-08 22:08:48 +03:00
Display version information.
2021-04-15 21:11:52 +03:00
.
.HP
\fB-y\fP|\fB--yes\fP
.br
Do not prompt for confirmation interactively but always assume the
answer yes. Use with extreme caution.
(For automatic no, see -qq.)

.I VG
Volume Group name. See \fBlvm\fP(8) for valid names.
2021-04-15 21:11:52 +03:00
.TP
.I Tag
Tag name. See \fBlvm\fP(8) for information about tag names and using tags
in place of a VG, LV or PV.

.IR Size [UNIT]
Size is an input number that accepts an optional unit.
Input units are always treated as base two values, regardless of
capitalization, e.g. 'k' and 'K' both refer to 1024.
The default input unit is specified by letter, followed by |UNIT.
2021-04-15 21:11:52 +03:00
UNIT represents other possible input units:
.BR b | B
is bytes,
.BR s | S
is sectors of 512 bytes,
.BR k | K
is KiB,
.BR m | M
is MiB,
.BR g | G
is GiB,
.BR t | T
is TiB,
.BR p | P
is PiB,
.BR e | E
is EiB.
(This should not be confused with the output control --units, where
capital letters mean multiple of 1000.)

See \fBlvm\fP(8) for information about environment variables used by lvm.
For example, LVM_VG_NAME can generally be substituted for a required VG parameter.
