|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
vgextend allows you to add one or more initialized physical volumes ( see
|
|
.B pvcreate(8)
|
|
) to an existing volume group to extend it in size.
|
|
.sp
|
|
If \fIPhysicalDevicePath\fP was not previously configured for LVM with
|
|
\fBpvcreate (8)\fP, the device will be initialized with the same
|
|
default values used with \fBpvcreate\fP. If non-default
|
|
\fPpvcreate\fP values are are desired, they may be given on the
|
|
commandline with the same options as \fPpvcreate\fP. See
|
|
\fBPHYSICAL DEVICE OPTIONS\fP for available options. Note
|
|
that the restore-related options such as --restorefile, --uuid,
|
|
and --physicalvolumesize are not available. If a restore operation
|
|
is needed, use \fBpvcreate (8)\fP and \fBvgcfgrestore (8)\fP.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
See \fBlvm\fP for common options.
|
|
.SH PHYSICAL DEVICE OPTIONS
