DESCRIPTION¶
pvdisplay allows you to see the attributes of one or more physical volumes like
size, physical extent size, space used for the volume group descriptor area
and so on.
pvs (8) is an alternative that provides the same information in the style
of
ps (1).
OPTIONS¶
See
lvm for common options and
pvs for options given with
--columns.
- -c, --colon
- Generate colon separated output for easier parsing in
scripts or programs. N.B. pvs (8) provides considerably more
control over the output.
The values are:
* physical volume device name
* volume group name
* physical volume size in kilobytes
* internal physical volume number (obsolete)
* physical volume status
* physical volume (not) allocatable
* current number of logical volumes on this physical volume
* physical extent size in kilobytes
* total number of physical extents
* free number of physical extents
* allocated number of physical extents
- -s, --short
- Only display the size of the given physical volumes.
- -m, --maps
- Display the mapping of physical extents to logical volumes
and logical extents.
- --columns | -C
- Display output in columns, the equivalent of pvs
(8). See pvs (8) for a description of other options with this form
of pvdisplay.
