LVMDISKSCAN(8)                                                System Manager's Manual                                               LVMDISKSCAN(8)

NAME

       lvmdiskscan - scan for all devices visible to LVM2

SYNOPSIS

       lvmdiskscan [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [-l|--lvmpartition] [-v|--verbose]

DESCRIPTION

       lvmdiskscan  scans  all SCSI, (E)IDE disks, multiple devices and a bunch of other block devices in the system looking for LVM physical vol-
       umes.  The size reported is the real device size.  Define a filter in lvm.conf(5) to restrict the scan to avoid a CD ROM, for example.

OPTIONS

       See lvm for common options.

       -l, --lvmpartition
              Only reports Physical Volumes.

NAME

       lvmdiskscan - scan for all disks / multiple devices / partitions available

SYNOPSIS

       lvmdiskscan [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-l|--lvmpartitions] [-v|--verbose]

DESCRIPTION

       To  give  an  overview  about  online peripherals usable to LVM, lvmdiskscan scans all SCSI, (E)IDE disks, multiple, loop and network block
       devices in the system and lists them on standard output with name, size and type (text/hex). The size is the real device size, not the size
       stored in the VGDA (See pvcreate(8) ) for details.

   OPTIONS
       -d/--debug
	      Enables additional debugging output (if compiled with DEBUG).

       -h, --help
	      Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully.

       -l, --lvmpartition
	      Gives an overview about all LVM system identified partitions only.

       -v, --verbose
	      Gives verbose runtime information about lvmdiskscan's activities.

DIAGNOSTICS

       lvmdiskscan returns an exit code of 0, if disks / multiple devices / partitions where found and > 0 for error:

       1  no special files found
       2  no disks / multiple devices / disk partitions found

       95 driver/module not in kernel
       96 invalid I/O protocol version
       97 error locking logical volume manager
       98 invalid lvmtab (run vgscan(8))
       99 invalid command line
