DESCRIPTION
pvs produces formatted output about physical volumes.
OPTIONS
See lvm(8) for common options.
--all Include information in the output about devices that have not
been initialized with pvcreate(8).
--aligned
Use with --separator to align the output columns.
--nameprefixes
Add an "LVM2_" prefix plus the field name to the output. Useful
with --noheadings to produce a list of field=value pairs that
can be used to set environment variables (for example, in
udev(7) rules).
--noheadings
Suppress the headings line that is normally the first line of
output. Useful if grepping the output.
--nosuffix
Suppress the suffix on output sizes. Use with --units (except h
and H) if processing the output.
-o, --options
Comma-separated ordered list of columns. Precede the list with
'+' to append to the default selection of columns.
Use -o pv_all to select all physical volume columns, and -o
pvseg_all to select all Physical Volume segment columns.
Use -o help to view the full list of columns available.
Column names include: pv_fmt, pv_uuid, dev_size, pv_name,
pv_mda_free, pv_mda_size, pe_start, pv_size, pv_free, pv_used,
pv_attr, pv_pe_count, pv_pe_alloc_count, pv_tags, pv_mda_count,
pv_mda_used_count, pvseg_start, and pvseg_size.
With --segments, any "pvseg_" prefixes are optional; otherwise
any "pv_" prefixes are optional. Columns mentioned in vgs(8)
can also be chosen. The pv_attr bits are: (a)llocatable,
e(x)ported and (m)issing.
--segments
Produces one line of output for each contiguous allocation of
space on each Physical Volume, showing the start (pvseg_start)
and length (pvseg_size) in units of physical extents.
-O, --sort
Comma-separated ordered list of columns to sort by. Replaces
the default selection. Precede any column with '-' for a reverse
sort on that column.
--rows Output columns as rows.
--separator Separator
String to use to separate each column. Useful if grepping the
output.
--unbuffered
Produce output immediately without sorting or aligning the col-
umns properly.
--units hHbBsSkKmMgGtTpPeE
All sizes are output in these units: (h)uman-readable, (b)ytes,
(s)ectors, (k)ilobytes, (m)egabytes, (g)igabytes, (t)erabytes,
(p)etabytes, (e)xabytes. Capitalise to use multiples of 1000
(S.I.) instead of 1024. Can also specify custom units e.g.
--units 3M
--unquoted
When used with --nameprefixes, output values in the field=value
pairs are not quoted.
