.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
vgscan scans all SCSI, (E)IDE disks, multiple devices and a bunch
|
|
of other disk devices in the system looking for LVM physical volumes
|
|
and volume groups. Define a filter in \fBlvm.conf\fP(5) to restrict
|
|
the scan to avoid a CD ROM, for example.
|
|
.LP
|
|
In LVM2, vgscans take place automatically; but you might still need to
|
|
run one explicitly after changing hardware.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
See \fBlvm\fP(8) for common options.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-mknodes
|
|
Also checks the LVM special files in /dev that are needed for active
|
|
logical volumes and creates any missing ones and removes unused ones.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-notifydbus
|
|
Send a notification to D-Bus. The command will exit with an error
|
|
if LVM is not built with support for D-Bus notification, or if the
|
|
notify_dbus config setting is disabled.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-cache
|
|
Scan devices for LVM physical volumes and volume groups and instruct
|
|
the lvmetad daemon to update its cached state accordingly.
