DESCRIPTION

       pvdisplay allows you to see the attributes of one or more physical volumes  like  size,  physical  extent
       size, space used for the volume group descriptor area and so on.

       pvs(8) is an alternative that provides the same information in the style of ps(1).

OPTIONS

       See lvm for common options and pvs for options given with --columns.

       -c, --colon
              Generate  colon  separated output for easier parsing in scripts or programs.  N.B. pvs(8) provides
              considerably more control over the output.

              The values are:

              * physical volume device name
              * volume group name
              * physical volume size in kilobytes
              * internal physical volume number (obsolete)
              * physical volume status
              * physical volume (not) allocatable
              * current number of logical volumes on this physical volume
              * physical extent size in kilobytes
              * total number of physical extents
              * free number of physical extents
              * allocated number of physical extents

       -s, --short
              Only display the size of the given physical volumes.

       -m, --maps
              Display the mapping of physical extents to logical volumes and logical extents.

       --columns, -C
              Display output in columns, the equivalent of pvs(8).   See  pvs(8)  for  a  description  of  other
              options with this form of pvdisplay.
