NAME

       pvscan - scan all disks for physical volumes

SYNOPSIS

       pvscan  [-d|--debug]  [-h|--help]  [-v|--verbose]  [--version]  [--ignorelockingfailure]  [-e|--exported]
       [-n|--novolumegroup] [-s|--short] [-u|--uuid]

       pvscan [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] --cache [-a|--activate ay] [--major major --minor minor | DevicePath]...

DESCRIPTION

       pvscan scans all supported LVM block devices in the system for physical volumes.

OPTIONS

       See lvm(8) for common options.

       -e, --exported
              Only show physical volumes belonging to exported volume groups.

       -n, --novolumegroup
              Only show physical volumes not belonging to any volume group.

       -s, --short
              Short listing format.

       -u, --uuid
              Show UUIDs (Uniform Unique Identifiers) in addition to device special names.

       -a, --activate ay
              Together with the information already  cached  in  lvmetad,  automatically  activate  any  logical
              volumes that become activatable after the scan done on one or more devices.  The logical volume to
              autoactivate is  matched  against  the  activation/auto_activation_volume_list  set  in  lvm.conf.
              Autoactivation  is  not  yet  supported  on  logical volumes that are part of partial or clustered
              volume groups.

       --cache [--major major --minor minor | DevicePath ]...
              Scan one or more devices and instruct the lvmetad daemon to update its cached  state  accordingly.
              Called  internally  by  udev rules.  All devices listed explicitly are processed regardless of any
              device filters set in lvm.conf.
