.SH NAME

pvscan - List all physical volumes

.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fBpvscan\fP \fIoption_args\fP
|
|
.br
|
|
[ \fIoption_args\fP ]
|
|
.br
|

|
|
.br
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
When called without the --cache option, pvscan lists PVs on the system,
|
|
like
|
|
.BR pvs (8)
|
|
or
|
|
.BR pvdisplay (8).
|
|
|
|
When the --cache and -aay options are used, pvscan records which PVs are
|
|
available on the system, and activates LVs in completed VGs. A VG is
|
|
complete when pvscan sees that the final PV in the VG has appeared. This
|
|
is used by event-based system startup (systemd, udev) to activate LVs.
|
|
|
|
The four main variations of this are:
|
|
|
|
.B pvscan --cache
|
|
.IR device
|
|
|
|
If device is present, lvm adds a record that the PV on device is online.
|
|
If device is not present, lvm removes the online record for the PV.
|
|
In most cases, the pvscan will only read the named devices.
|
|
|
|
.B pvscan --cache -aay
|
|
.IR device ...
|
|
|
|
This begins by performing the same steps as above. Afterward, if the VG
|
|
for the specified PV is complete, then pvscan will activate LVs in the VG
|
|
(the same as vgchange -aay vgname would do.)
|
|
|
|
.B pvscan --cache
|
|
|
|
This first clears all existing PV online records, then scans all devices
|
|
on the system, adding PV online records for any PVs that are found.
|
|
|
|
.B pvscan --cache -aay
|
|
|
|
This begins by performing the same steps as pvscan --cache. Afterward, it
|
|
activates LVs in any complete VGs.
|
|
|
|
To prevent devices from being scanned by pvscan --cache, add them
|
|
to
|
|
.BR lvm.conf (5)
|
|
.B devices/global_filter.
|
|
For more information, see:
|
|
.br
|
|
.B lvmconfig --withcomments devices/global_filter
|
|
|
|
Auto-activation of VGs or LVs can be enabled/disabled using:
|
|
.br
|
|
.BR lvm.conf (5)
|
|
.B activation/auto_activation_volume_list
|
|
|
|
For more information, see:
|
|
.br
|
|
.B lvmconfig --withcomments activation/auto_activation_volume_list
|
|
|
|
To disable auto-activation, explicitly set this list to an empty list,
|
|
i.e. auto_activation_volume_list = [ ].
|
|
|
|
When this setting is undefined (e.g. commented), then all LVs are
|
|
auto-activated.
|
|
|
|
.SH USAGE
|
|
Display PV information.

\fIPV\fP

.br
|
|
Physical Volume name, a device path under /dev.
|
|
For commands managing physical extents, a PV positional arg
|
|
generally accepts a suffix indicating a range (or multiple ranges)
|
|
of physical extents (PEs). When the first PE is omitted, it defaults
|
|
to the start of the device, and when the last PE is omitted it defaults to end.
|
|
Start and end range (inclusive): \fIPV\fP[\fB:\fP\fIPE\fP\fB-\fP\fIPE\fP]...
|
|
Start and length range (counting from 0): \fIPV\fP[\fB:\fP\fIPE\fP\fB+\fP\fIPE\fP]...

|
\fISize\fP[UNIT]
|
|
.br
|
|
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.
|
|
UNIT represents other possible input units: \fBbBsSkKmMgGtTpPeE\fP.
|
|
b|B is bytes, s|S is sectors of 512 bytes, k|K is kilobytes,
|
|
m|M is megabytes, g|G is gigabytes, t|T is terabytes,
|
|
p|P is petabytes, e|E is exabytes.
|
|
(This should not be confused with the output control --units, where
|
|
capital letters mean multiple of 1000.)
|
|
.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
|
|
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.
