SYSTEM-CONFIG-LVM(8x)													     SYSTEM-CONFIG-LVM(8x)

NAME

       system-config-lvm - GUI for LVM

SYNOPSIS

       system-config-lvm

DESCRIPTION

       system-config-lvm  provides  a graphical interface to the LVM tools (and related utilities, including fsck and resize2fs) which is good for
       non-emergency storage administration.

       It enables you to manage your logical volume and filesystem configuration with a few mouse clicks, and it prevents  potentially	disastrous
       mistakes using commandline such as reducing a logical volume size before reducing the filesystem contained within that volume.

       WARNING:
       system-config-lvm does not recognize RAID elements as being in use, and therefore lists them as "Unitnitialized Entities". If you are using
       a LVM-on-RAID configuration, system-config-lvm will let you wipe out RAID elements by making them into PVs, so be careful about that.

       system-config-lvm does exactly what you tell it to do, so watch your click and think about it twice before acting.

NAME

       vgscan - scan all disks for volume groups and rebuild caches

SYNOPSIS

       vgscan [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [--ignorelockingfailure] [--mknodes] [-P|--partial] [-v|--verbose]

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 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.
