NAME

       lvscan — scan (all disks) for Logical Volumes

SYNOPSIS

       lvscan   [-a|--all]   [-b|--blockdevice]   [--commandprofile   ProfileName]   [-d|--debug]
       [-h|--help] [--ignorelockingfailure] [-P|--partial] [-v|--verbose]

DESCRIPTION

       lvscan scans all known volume groups or all supported LVM block devices in the system  for
       defined  Logical  Volumes.   The  output  consists  of  one  line  for each Logical Volume
       indicating whether or not it is active, a snapshot or origin, the size of the  device  and
       its   allocation   policy.   Use  lvs(8)  or  lvdisplay(8)  to  obtain  more-comprehensive
       information about the Logical Volumes.

OPTIONS

       See lvm(8) for common options.

       --all  Include  information  in  the  output  about  internal  Logical  Volumes  that  are
              components  of  normally-accessible Logical Volumes, such as mirrors, but which are
              not independently accessible (e.g. not mountable).  For example, after  creating  a
              mirror  using lvcreate -m1 --mirrorlog disk, this option will reveal three internal
              Logical Volumes, with suffixes mimage_0, mimage_1, and mlog.

       -b, --blockdevice
              This option is now ignored.  Instead, use lvs(8)  or  lvdisplay(8)  to  obtain  the
              device number.

       --cache LogicalVolume
              Applicable    only   when   lvmetad(8)   is   in   use   (see   also   lvm.conf(5),
              global/use_lvmetad). This command issues a rescan of  physical  volume  labels  and
              metadata  areas of all PVs that the logical volume uses. In particular, this can be
              used when a RAID logical volume  becomes  degraded,  to  update  information  about
              physical  volume  availability. This is only necessary if the logical volume is not
              being monitored by dmeventd (see lvchange(8), option --monitor).
