NAME
lvmdiskscan - scan for all disks / multiple devices / partitions available
SYNOPSIS
lvmdiskscan [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-l|--lvmpartitions] [-v|--verbose]
DESCRIPTION
To give an overview about online peripherals usable to LVM, lvmdiskscan scans all SCSI, (E)IDE disks, multiple, loop and network block devices in the system and lists them on standard output with name, size and type (text/hex). The size is the real device size, not the size stored in the VGDA (See pvcreate(8) ) for details.
