SYNOPSIS

       pvchange  [--addtag Tag] [-A|--autobackup {y|n}] [--commandprofile ProfileName] [-d|--debug] [-f|--force]
       [--deltag Tag] [--metadataignore {y|n}] [-h|-?|--help] [-S|--select Selection] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose]
       [-a|--all] [-x|--allocatable {y|n}] [-u|--uuid] [PhysicalVolumePath...]

DESCRIPTION

       pvchange allows you to change the allocation permissions of one or more physical volumes.

OPTIONS

       See lvm(8) for common options.

       -a, --all
              If PhysicalVolumePath is not specified on the command line all physical volumes are  searched  for
              and used.

       --metadataignore {y|n}
              Ignore  or  un-ignore  metadata  areas  on  this physical volume.  If metadata areas on a physical
              volume are ignored, LVM will not not store metadata in the metadata areas present on this Physical
              Volume.

       -u, --uuid
              Generate new random UUID for specified physical volumes.

       -x, --allocatable {y|n}
              Enable or disable allocation of physical extents on this physical volume.

Example

       Disallows the allocation of physical extents on this physical volume (possibly because of disk errors, or
       because it will be removed after freeing it:

       pvchange -x n /dev/sdk1
