xenial (8) vgmknodes.8.gz

NAME

       vgmknodes — recreate volume group directory and logical volume special files

SYNOPSIS

       vgmknodes    [--commandprofile   ProfileName]   [-d|--debug]   [-h|--help]   [--refresh]   [-v|--verbose]
       [[VolumeGroupName|LogicalVolumePath]...]

DESCRIPTION

       Checks the LVM2 special files in /dev that are needed for active logical volumes and creates any  missing
       ones and removes unused ones.

OPTIONS

       See lvm(8) for common options.

       --refresh
              If  any  logical volume in the volume group is active, reload its metadata.  This is not necessary
              in normal operation, but may be useful if something has gone wrong or if you're  doing  clustering
              manually without a clustered lock manager.
