pvdisplay - display attributes of a physical volume
pvdisplay [-c|--colon] [-d|--debug] [-h|-?|--help] [-s|--short]
[-v[v]|--verbose [--verbose]] PhysicalVolumePath [PhysicalVolumePath...]
pvdisplay allows you to see the attributes of one or more physical volumes like
size, physical extent size, space used for the volume group descriptor area
and so on.
pvs (8) is an alternative that provides the same
information in the style of ps (1).
See lvm for common options.
- -c, --colon
- Generate colon separated output for easier parsing in scripts or programs.
N.B. pvs (8) provides considerably more control over the output.
The values are:
* physical volume device name
* volume group name
* physical volume size in kilobytes
* internal physical volume number (obsolete)
* physical volume status
* physical volume (not) allocatable
* current number of logical volumes on this physical volume
* physical extent size in kilobytes
* total number of physical extents
* free number of physical extents
* allocated number of physical extents
- -s, --short
- Only display the size of the given physical volumes.
- -m, --maps
- Display the mapping of physical extents to logical volumes and logical
extents.
