21 [VolumeGroupName...]
22
24 vgdisplay allows you to see the attributes of VolumeGroupName (or all
25 volume groups if none is given) with it's physical and logical volumes
26 and their sizes etc.
27
28 vgs(8) is an alternative that provides the same information in the
29 style of ps(1).
30
32 See lvm(8) for common options.
33
34 -A, --activevolumegroups
35 Only select the active volume groups. The volume group is con‐
36 sidered active if at least one of its logical volumes is active.
37
38 -C, --columns
39 Display output in columns, the equivalent of vgs(8). Options
40 listed are the same as options given in vgs(8).
41
42 -c, --colon
43 Generate colon separated output for easier parsing in scripts or
44 programs. N.B. vgs(8) provides considerably more control over
45 the output.
46
47 The values are:
48
49 1 volume group name
50 2 volume group access
51 3 volume group status
52 4 internal volume group number
53 5 maximum number of logical volumes
54 6 current number of logical volumes
55 7 open count of all logical volumes in this volume group
56 8 maximum logical volume size
57 9 maximum number of physical volumes
58 10 current number of physical volumes
59 11 actual number of physical volumes
60 12 size of volume group in kilobytes
61 13 physical extent size
62 14 total number of physical extents for this volume group
63 15 allocated number of physical extents for this volume group
64 16 free number of physical extents for this volume group
65 17 uuid of volume group
66
67
68 -s, --short
69 Give a short listing showing the existence of volume groups.
70
71 -v, --verbose
72 Display verbose information containing long listings of physical
73 and logical volumes. If given twice, also display verbose run‐
