NAME

       pvresize — resize a disk or partition in use by LVM2

SYNOPSIS

       pvresize  [--commandprofile  ProfileName] [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] [--version]
       [--setphysicalvolumesize size] PhysicalVolume [PhysicalVolume...]

DESCRIPTION

       pvresize resizes PhysicalVolume which may already be in a volume group and have  active  logical  volumes
       allocated on it.

OPTIONS

       See lvm(8) for common options.

       --setphysicalvolumesize size
              Overrides  the  automatically-detected  size  of  the PV.  Use with care, or prior to reducing the
              physical size of the device.

EXAMPLES

       Expand the PV on /dev/sda1 after enlarging the partition with fdisk:

       pvresize /dev/sda1

       Shrink the PV on /dev/sda1 prior to shrinking the partition with  fdisk  (ensure  that  the  PV  size  is
       appropriate for your intended new partition size):

       pvresize --setphysicalvolumesize 40G /dev/sda1

RESTRICTIONS

       pvresize  will  refuse to shrink PhysicalVolume if it has allocated extents after where its new end would
       be. In the future, it should relocate these elsewhere in the volume group if  there  is  sufficient  free
       space, like pvmove does.

       pvresize won't currently work correctly on LVM1 volumes or PVs with extra metadata areas.
