.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
pvchange allows you to change the allocation permissions of one or
|
|
more physical volumes.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
See \fBlvm\fP for common options.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-a, \-\-all
|
|
If PhysicalVolumePath is not specified on the command line all
|
|
physical volumes are searched for and used.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-u, \-\-uuid
|
|
Generate new random UUID for specified physical volumes.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-x, \-\-allocatable y|n
|
|
Enable or disable allocation of physical extents on this physical volume.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I \-\-metadataignore y|n
|
|
Ignore or un-ignore metadata areas on this physical volume. If metadata
|
|
areas on a physical volume are ignored, LVM will not not store metadata
|
|
in the metadata areas present on this Physical Volume. Metadata areas
|
|
cannot be created or extended after Logical Volumes have been allocated
|
|
on the device. If you do not want to store metadata on this device, it
|
|
is still wise always to allocate a metadata area in case you need it in
|
|
the future and to use this option to instruct LVM2 to ignore it.
|
|
(This option is not applicable to the old LVM1 metadata format.)
|
|
.SH Example
|
|
"pvchange -x n /dev/sdk1" disallows the allocation of physical extents
|
|
on this physical volume (possibly because of disk errors, or because it will
|
|
be removed after freeing it.
