NAME

       lvmconfig - Display and manipulate configuration information

SYNOPSIS

       lvmconfig
           [ option_args ]
           [ position_args ]

DESCRIPTION

       lvmconfig,  lvm  config,  lvm  dumpconfig  (for  compatibility  reasons, to be phased out)
       produce formatted output from the LVM configuration tree. The sources of the configuration
       data include lvm.conf(5) and command line settings from --config.

OPTIONS

       --atversion String
              Specify an LVM version in x.y.z format where x is the major version, the y is the
              minor version and z is the patchlevel (e.g. 2.2.106).  When configuration is
              displayed, the configuration settings recognized at this LVM version will be
              considered only. This can be used to display a configuration that a certain LVM
              version understands and which does not contain any newer settings for which LVM
              would issue a warning message when checking the configuration.

       --commandprofile String
              The command profile to use for command configuration.  See lvm.conf(5) for more
              information about profiles.

       --config String
              Config settings for the command. These override lvm.conf settings.  The String arg
              uses the same format as lvm.conf, or may use section/field syntax.  See lvm.conf(5)
              for more information about config.

       -d|--debug ...
              Set debug level. Repeat from 1 to 6 times to increase the detail of messages sent
              to the log file and/or syslog (if configured).

       --driverloaded y|n
              If set to no, the command will not attempt to use device-mapper.  For testing and
              debugging.

       -f|--file String
              Write output to the named file.

       -h|--help
              Display help text.

       --ignoreadvanced
              Exclude advanced configuration settings from the output.

       --ignorelocal
              Ignore the local section. The local section should be defined in the lvmlocal.conf
              file, and should contain config settings specific to the local host which should
              not be copied to other hosts.

       --ignoreunsupported
              Exclude unsupported configuration settings from the output. These settings are
              either used for debugging and development purposes only or their support is not yet
              complete and they are not meant to be used in production. The current and diff
              types include unsupported settings in their output by default, all the other types
              ignore unsupported settings.

       -l|--list
              List config settings with summarizing comment. This is the same as using options
              --typeconfig list --withsummary.

       --lockopt String
              Used to pass options for special cases to lvmlockd.  See lvmlockd(8) for more
              information.

       --longhelp
              Display long help text.

       --mergedconfig
              When the command is run with --config and/or --commandprofile (or using
              LVM_COMMAND_PROFILE environment variable), --profile, or --metadataprofile, merge
              all the contents of the "config cascade" before displaying it.  Without merging,
              only the configuration at the front of the cascade is displayed.  See lvm.conf(5)
              for more information about config.

       --metadataprofile String
              The metadata profile to use for command configuration.  See lvm.conf(5) for more
              information about profiles.

       --nolocking
              Disable locking.

       --profile String
              An alias for --commandprofile or --metadataprofile, depending on the command.

       -q|--quiet ...
              Suppress output and log messages. Overrides --debug and --verbose.  Repeat once to
              also suppress any prompts with answer 'no'.

       --showdeprecated
              Include deprecated configuration settings in the output. These settings are
              deprecated after a certain version. If a concrete version is specified with
              --atversion, deprecated settings are automatically included if the specified
              version is lower than the version in which the settings were deprecated. The
              current and diff types include deprecated settings in their output by default, all
              the other types ignore deprecated settings.

       --showunsupported
              Include unsupported configuration settings in the output. These settings are either
              used for debugging or development purposes only, or their support is not yet
              complete and they are not meant to be used in production. The current and diff
              types include unsupported settings in their output by default, all the other types
              ignore unsupported settings.

       --sinceversion String
              Specify an LVM version in x.y.z format where x is the major version, the y is the
              minor version and z is the patchlevel (e.g. 2.2.106).  This option is currently
              applicable only with --typeconfig new to display all configuration settings
              introduced since given version.

       -t|--test
              Run in test mode. Commands will not update metadata.  This is implemented by
              disabling all metadata writing but nevertheless returning success to the calling
              function. This may lead to unusual error messages in multi-stage operations if a
              tool relies on reading back metadata it believes has changed but hasn't.

       --typeconfig current|default|diff|full|list|missing|new|profilable|profilable-
              command|profilable-metadata
              current prints the config settings that would be applied to an lvm command
              (assuming the command does not override them on the command line.) This includes:
              settings that have been modified in lvm config files, settings that get their
              default values from config files, and default settings that have been uncommented
              in config files.  default prints all settings with their default values.  Changes
              made in lvm config files are not reflected in the output.  Some settings get their
              default values internally, and these settings are printed as comments.  Other
              settings get their default values from config files, and these settings are not
              printed as comments.  diff prints only config settings that have been modified from
              their default values in config files (the difference between current and default.)
              full prints every setting uncommented and set to the current value, i.e. how it
              would be used by an lvm command.  This includes settings modified in config files,
              settings that usually get defaults internally, and settings that get defaults from
              config files.  list prints all config names without values.  missing prints
              settings that are missing from the lvm config files. A missing setting that usually
              gets its default from config files is printed uncommented and set to the internal
              default.  Settings that get their default internally and are not set in config
              files are printed commented with the internal default.  new prints config settings
              that have been added since the lvm version specified by --sinceversion. They are
              printed with their default values.  profilable prints settings with their default
              values that can be set from a profile.  profilable-command prints settings with
              their default values that can be set from a command profile.  profilable-metadata
              prints settings with their default values that can be set from a metadata profile.
              Also see lvm.conf(5).

       --unconfigured
              Internal option used for generating config file during build.

       --validate
              Validate current configuration used and exit with appropriate return code. The
              validation is done only for the configuration at the front of the "config cascade".
              To validate the whole merged configuration tree, also use --mergedconfig.  The
              validation is done even if lvm.conf config/checks is disabled.

       -v|--verbose ...
              Set verbose level. Repeat from 1 to 4 times to increase the detail of messages sent
              to stdout and stderr.

       --version
              Display version information.

       --withcomments
              Display a full comment for each configuration node. For deprecated settings, also
              display comments about deprecation.

       --withgeneralpreamble
              Include general config file preamble.

       --withlocalpreamble
              Include local config file preamble.

       --withspaces
              Where appropriate, add more spaces in output for better readability.

       --withsummary
              Display a one line comment for each configuration node.

       --withversions
              Also display a comment containing the version of introduction for each
              configuration node. If the setting is deprecated, also display the version since
              which it is deprecated.

       -y|--yes
              Do not prompt for confirmation interactively but always assume the answer yes. Use
              with extreme caution.  (For automatic no, see -qq.)

VARIABLES

       String
              See the option description for information about the string content.

       Size[UNIT]
              Size  is  an  input  number  that accepts an optional unit.  Input units are always
              treated as base two values, regardless of capitalization, e.g.  'k'  and  'K'  both
              refer  to  1024.  The default input unit is specified by letter, followed by |UNIT.
              UNIT represents other possible input units: bBsSkKmMgGtTpPeE.  b|B is bytes, s|S is
              sectors  of  512 bytes, k|K is KiB, m|M is MiB, g|G is GiB, t|T is TiB, p|P is PiB,
              e|E is EiB.  (This should not be confused with the output  control  --units,  where
              capital letters mean multiple of 1000.)

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       See  lvm(8)  for  information  about  environment  variables  used  by  lvm.  For example,
       LVM_VG_NAME can generally be substituted for a required VG parameter.
