NAME

SYNOPSIS

10       bose] [--labelsector sector] PhysicalVolume [PhysicalVolume...]

DESCRIPTION

13       pvck checks physical volume LVM metadata for consistency.

OPTIONS

16       See lvm(8) for common options.
17
18       --labelsector sector
19              By default, 4 sectors of PhysicalVolume are scanned for  an  LVM
20              label, starting at sector 0.  This parameter allows you to spec‐
21              ify a different starting sector for the scan and is  useful  for
22              recovery  situations.   For example, suppose the partition table
23              is corrupted or lost on /dev/sda, but you suspect there  was  an
24              LVM  partition  at approximately 100 MiB.  This area of the disk
25              may be scanned by using the --labelsector parameter with a value
26              of 204800 (100 * 1024 * 1024 / 512 = 204800):
27
28              pvck --labelsector 204800 /dev/sda
29
30              Note  that  a  script can be used with --labelsector to automate
31              the process of finding LVM labels.
