NAME

       pvck - check physical volume metadata

SYNOPSIS

       pvck [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-v|--verbose] [--labelsector sector] PhysicalVolume [PhysicalVolume...]

DESCRIPTION

       pvck checks physical volume LVM metadata for consistency.

OPTIONS

       See lvm(8) for common options.

       --labelsector sector
              By  default, 4 sectors of PhysicalVolume are scanned for an LVM label, starting at sector 0.  This
              parameter allows you to specify a different starting  sector  for  the  scan  and  is  useful  for
              recovery  situations.   For example, suppose the partition table is corrupted or lost on /dev/sda,
              but you suspect there was an LVM partition at approximately 100 MiB.  This area of the disk may be
              scanned  by  using  the  --labelsector parameter with a value of 204800 (100 * 1024 * 1024 / 512 =
              204800):

              pvck --labelsector 204800 /dev/sda

              Note that a script can be used with --labelsector to automate the process of finding LVM labels.
