NAME¶
pvck — check physical volume metadataSYNOPSIS¶
pvck [--commandprofile ProfileName] [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] [--labelsector sector] PhysicalVolume [PhysicalVolume...]DESCRIPTION¶
pvck checks physical volume LVM metadata for consistency.OPTIONS¶
See lvm(8) for common options.- --labelsector sector
- By default, 4 sectors of PhysicalVolume are scanned for an LVM
label, starting at sector 0. This parameter allows you to specify a
different starting sector for the scan and is useful for recovery
situations. For example, suppose the partition table is corrupted or lost
on /dev/sda, but you suspect there was an LVM partition at approximately
100 MiB. This area of the disk may be scanned by using the
--labelsector parameter with a value of 204800 (100 * 1024 * 1024 /
512 = 204800):
pvck --labelsector 204800 /dev/sda
Note that a script can be used with --labelsector to automate the process of finding LVM labels.
