DESCRIPTION¶
vgscan scans all SCSI, (E)IDE disks, multiple devices and a bunch of other disk
devices in the system looking for LVM physical volumes and volume groups.
Define a filter in
lvm.conf(5) to restrict the scan to avoid a CD ROM,
for example.
In LVM2, vgscans take place automatically; but you might still need to run one
explicitly after changing hardware.
OPTIONS¶
See
lvm(8) for common options.
- --mknodes
- Also checks the LVM special files in /dev that are needed for active
logical volumes and creates any missing ones and removes unused ones.
- --cache
- Scan devices for LVM physical volumes and volume groups and instruct the
lvmetad daemon to update its cached state accordingly.
