NAME
pvdisplay - display attributes of a physical volume
SYNOPSIS
pvdisplay [-c|--colon] [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-s|--short] [-v[v]|--verbose [--verbose]] PhysicalVolumePath [PhysicalVolumePath...]
DESCRIPTION
pvdisplay allows you to see the attributes of one or more physical volumes like size, physical extent size, space used for the volume group descriptor area and so on.
OPTIONS
- -c, --colon
- Generate colon seperated output for easier parsing in scripts or programs.
The values are:
* physical volume device name * volume group name * physical volume size in kilobytes * internal physical volume number * physical volume status * physical volume (not) allocatable * current number of logical volumes on this physical volume * physical extent size in kilobytes * total number of physical extents * free number of physical extents * allocated number of physical extents
- -d, --debug
- Enables additional debugging output (if compiled with DEBUG).
- -h, --help
- Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully.
- -s, --short
- Only display the size of the given physical volumes.
- -v, --verbose
- Display the mapping of physical extents to logical volumes and logical extents.
- -vv, --verbose --verbose
- Like -v with verbose runtime information about pvdisplay's activities.
DIAGNOSTICS
pvdisplay returns an code state of 0 for success and > 0 for error:
1 no physical volume name on command line 2 error checking consistency of physical volume 3 error reading physical extent information from physical volume
95 driver/module not in kernel 96 invalid I/O protocol version 97 error locking logical volume manager 98 invalid lvmtab (run vgscan(8)) 99 invalid command line
