NAME
pvscan - scan all disks for physical volumes
SYNOPSIS
pvscan [-d|--debug] [-e|--exported] [-h|--help] [-n|--novolumegroup] [-s|--short] [-u|--uuid] [-v[v]|--verbose [--verbose]]
DESCRIPTION
pvscan scans all supported LVM block devices in the system for physical volumes. OPTIONS -d, --debug Enables additional debugging output (if compiled with DEBUG). -e, --exported Only show physical volumes belonging to exported volume groups. -h, --help Print a usage message on standard output and exit successfully. -n, --novolumegroup Only show physical volumes not belonging to any volume group. -s, --short Short listing format. -u, --uuid Show UUIDs (Unifrom Unique Identifiers) in addition to device special names. -v, --verbose Gives verbose runtime information about pvscan's activities. If given a second time it displays the attributes of found physical volumes like pvdisplay(8) does.
