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.
DIAGNOSTICS
pvscan returns an exit code of 0 for success or >0 for error:
1 error reading physical volumes
2 no physical volumes found
95 driver/module not in kernel
96 invalid I/O protocol version

Then, it gets complex when I define these three pv's to an lv of type raw. Doing... (4 Replies)
