NAME
pvscan - scan all disks for physical volumes
SYNOPSIS
pvscan [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] [--version] [--ignore-
lockingfailure] [-e|--exported] [-n|--novolumegroup] [-s|--short]
[-u|--uuid]
pvscan [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] --cache [-a|--activate ay] [--major
major --minor minor | DevicePath]...
DESCRIPTION
pvscan scans all supported LVM block devices in the system for physical
volumes.
OPTIONS
See lvm(8) for common options.
-e, --exported
Only show physical volumes belonging to exported volume groups.
-n, --novolumegroup
Only show physical volumes not belonging to any volume group.
-s, --short
Short listing format.
-u, --uuid
Show UUIDs (Uniform Unique Identifiers) in addition to device
special names.
-a, --activate ay
Together with the information already cached in lvmetad, auto-
matically activate any logical volumes that become activatable
after the scan done on one or more devices. The logical volume
to autoactivate is matched against the activation/auto_activa-
tion_volume_list set in lvm.conf. Autoactivation is not yet sup-
ported on logical volumes that are part of partial or clustered
volume groups.
--cache [--major major --minor minor | DevicePath ]...
Scan one or more devices and instruct the lvmetad daemon to
update its cached state accordingly. Called internally by udev
rules. All devices listed explicitly are processed regardless
of any device filters set in lvm.conf.
