NAME

6       pvdisplay - display attributes of a physical volume
7

SYNOPSIS

9       pvdisplay   [-c/--colon]   [-d/--debug]   [-h/-?/--help]   [-s/--short]
10       [-v[v]/--verbose    [--verbose]]    PhysicalVolumePath    [PhysicalVol‐
11       umePath...]
12

DESCRIPTION

14       pvdisplay allows you to see the attributes of one or more physical vol‐
15       umes like size, physical extent size, space used for the  volume  group
16       descriptor area and so on.
17
18       pvs  (8)  is  an  alternative that provides the same information in the
19       style of ps (1).

31              * physical volume device name
32              * volume group name
33              * physical volume size in kilobytes
34              * internal physical volume number (obsolete)
35              * physical volume status
36              * physical volume (not) allocatable
37              * current number of logical volumes on this physical volume
38              * physical extent size in kilobytes
39              * total number of physical extents
40              * free number of physical extents
41              * allocated number of physical extents
42
43
44       -s, --short
45              Only display the size of the given physical volumes.
46
47       -m, --maps
48              Display the mapping of physical extents to logical  volumes  and
49              logical extents.
